Hernandez defeats Pereira by TKO at UFC Vegas 99: Complete Domination

In the main event of UFC Vegas 99, Michel Pereira faced Anthony Hernandez. The Brazilian lost after a one-sided fight.

In the under 84 kg division, Anthony Hernandez and Michel Pereira faced each other in the main fight of UFC Vegas 99. The Brazilian came into this fight with an 8-fight winning streak, ranked 14th in the division.

On the other hand, the American Hernandez, ranked 13th in the division, was on a similarly positive streak, having won 5 consecutive fights. This fight promised a significant stylistic opposition between the wrestler/grappler and Pereira’s unpredictable striking.

After a rather difficult first round, “Demolidor” did not resist the American’s takedowns. From the second round, the Brazilian was dominated on the ground. This scenario repeated in all the other rounds before Hernandez accelerated and forced the referee to stop the fight.

After an MMA lesson and nearly 200 significant strikes landed, Anthony Hernandez won by TKO (referee stoppage) in the fifth round. The American enforces the hierarchy, retaining his 13th place in the middleweight division. Moreover, he improves his record to 13-2 and can now aim for the top of the division dominated by Dricus Du Plessis.

For Pereira, who hadn’t lost since 2020, this is a hard blow. “Demolidor” could not impose his game and was dominated in a one-sided fight. It remains to be seen if he can come back quickly…
