The UFC Vegas 17 card of the year had some incredible fights on it. The welterweight contest between Michel Pereira vs Kalinn ‘Khaos’ Williams was one such fight to watch out for. 

‘Demolidor’ vs Williams was billed to be a fight that would not go the distance and it was easy to see why. Kalinn had secured an impressive 55% of his wins via T/KO. Furthermore, just about a month back, he had stopped his opponent in 30 seconds in one of the most vicious KO’s of this year. Pereira on the other hand had secured 40% of his wins via T/KO

In the post-fight interview, ‘Demolidor’ was asked who he would like to fight next. He replied, “Anthony Pettis, I win you win. Go, go go fight. Two weeks, three weeks, go go, Anthony Pettis.”

The fight between Pereira and Williams was not as action-packed as many believed it would be. Both men recognized that the person in front of them had incredible knockout power. Hence, they fought with caution.

Anthony Pettis also secured an impressive win over Alex Morono tonight. However, following his win, he announced that he would be moving back down to 155-pounds for one last run at the title. Therefore, a fight with Pereira might not come to fruition.

Nevertheless, ‘Demolidor’ does have a lot of interesting matchups at 170-pounds if a fight against ‘Showtime’ does not materialize.
