Risky mortal
Michel won Niko Price in the judges' decision, but risked defeat in the UFC 264 for a risky mortal in the second round. The Brazilian's luck was that the blow didn't hit his opponent's face. If his foot had touched the American, he would have ended up being disqualified for the classic blow.
Fighting style like something out of a video game 🎮

Here, give it here!
The performance in front of Zelim Imadaev was a show in itself. After great controversy at the weigh-in due to a 'slap' received during a face-off, the 'Paraense Voador' took revenge and returned the blow, even warning his opponent what he was going to do and, even so, managing to connect the Russian's face in full.

In his last appearance, against André Fialho No. UFC 270, he impressed by doing a somersault before the official face-off against the Portuguese.
