Michel Pereira

The statistical profile suggests a relatively high-output striker who also uses grappling often enough to register takedowns and submissions. Pereira’s significant strike pace is listed at 4.46 landed per minute with 4.40 absorbed per minute, a near-even exchange rate that can align with competitive, back-and-forth striking stretches. His striking defense is listed at 51%, which reads as middling in isolation, while a 75% takedown defense points to a generally sturdy first line of resistance against opponents’ takedown attempts. The bout log shows a career that includes both extended, three-round decision outcomes and quick finishes. At Middleweight in particular, several wins in the list come via first-round submissions and a first-round KO/TKO, indicating demonstrated early finishing ability at that weight class. At the same time, the recent results include multiple losses by decision and KO/TKO, including a five-round KO/TKO loss, suggesting that when fights extend or intensify, outcomes have varied. Careful inference from the mix of outcomes is that Pereira can win in more than one phase, but his recent Middleweight run has included both decisive early successes and clear setbacks.
