The great performance of Michael Pereira in the victory over Zelim Imadaev, in UFC Las Vegas 9, an event held on Saturday (05), in the USA, didn't just impress MMA fans. And nothing better than ending a bad phase, with victory and being praised by a champion. To the American ESPN, Kamaru Usman, number one in the welterweight division (77kg) and who acted as a commentator for the show, did not hide his admiration for the unique style that the Brazilian has in the octagon and believes that it is only a matter of time before he fights against the best in the category.

“I loved everything I saw from Michel. He impressed because he proved to everyone, our bosses and myself included, that he can be a complete fighter. Everything was spectacular! His awareness, the way he moved, the traps he created to land good shots. It was incredible, Michel had a spectacular performance! I think this is an athlete who will fight against big names in the near future,” said Usman.
The positive statement of Kamaru Usman about Michael Pereira gives more meaning to the challenge that the Brazilian made to Jorge masvidal. By winning the last fight in his contract with the UFC, 'Paraense Voador' has everything he needs to renew with the organization and he has already said that he is willing to stay there. In turn, the Nigerian will put the welterweight belt on the line, at UFC 256, against Gilbert 'Durinho', on December 12th.
