If the desire to face Nate diaz is due to the entertainment potential of the duel, the motivations for sharing the octagon with Jorge masvidal are personal. In a press conference held after the event, after stating that he had a “problem to resolve” with Masvidal, Michael Pereira claimed that the American had tried to flirt with his wife on social media.
“He sent an amen hand emoji to my wife. I don't know why he sent it to my wife and didn't send it to me. I wanted to understand why and I never met him to ask. I wanted to understand this, but I wanted to understand it inside the octagon”, said the Paraense Voador.
The victory over Santiago Ponzinibbio was the fifth consecutive Michael Pereira in the octagon. With the result against the Argentine, until then fourteenth placed in the welterweight rankings (up to 77 kg), the Brazilian should finally debut in the top 15 of the division in the next update.
