Michael PQD was one of the highlights of the last episode of the ninth season of the reality show 'Contender Series'. Last Tuesday (14), in Las Vegas (USA), the Brazilian took no notice of Victor Valenzuela, knocked him out in the second round and, thus, won a contract with the UFC by the hands of Dana White. In fact, the company's president was delighted with his new acquisition.

At the end of the program, Dana, impressed with M's performanceIchael, praised him. And it's no wonder, given that the Brazilian punished his opponent before knocking him out, displaying power and technique in his striking. It's worth noting that the athlete was already considered by some fans and professionals as one of the country's top prospects in the sport. Now, Dana has made his excitement about PQD's arrival in the UFC clear. 

"You looked like a sharpshooter. I loved your story. You're literally at your peak, undefeated. I can't wait to see you fight in the UFC, my friend," said the organization's president.
