VIDEO: Michael Pereira Makes a Unique Entrance for His Face-off With Kalinn Williams

Michael Pereira is one of the most exciting fighters at welterweight. Pereira is a talented finisher and 71% of his wins have not gone the distance. ‘Demolidor’ is also excellent at mental warfare and uses it to his advantage in his fights. 

For instance, Imadaev slapped Pereira during their face-off before their fight. Michael took note of this and during the fight slapped Imadaev around multiple times before securing a rear-naked choke. 

The welterweight fighter also trash talks his opponents during the fight and showboats a lot. While it does get under the skin of most opponents, ‘Khaos’ has vowed that Pereira will pay for his actions if here were to try something. 

During the final face-off, Pereira surprised everyone. He rolled onto the stage and then lay down on his back. ‘Demolidor’ executed two kip-ups before getting up to his feet. He then proceeded to have an intense face-off with his opponent Kalinn ‘Khaos’ Williams.

Michael Pereira vs Kalinn Williams will not go the distance

Pereira has secured an impressive 42% of his wins via T/KO. He submitted Zelim Imadaev via a rear-naked choke in his last bout. Pereira has landed an impressive 4.02 significant strikes per minute and has absorbed just 2.56 in return. He has averaged 1.68 takedowns per 15 minutes and has attempted 0.3 average submissions over three rounds.

‘Khaos’ on the other hand has secured 55% of his wins via T/KO. Most recently, he took on a fellow knockout artist in Abdul Razak Alhassan last month. It took ‘Khaos’ all of 30 seconds to knockout Alhassan out cold and move to 8-0. 

In his 2 UFC fights, Williams has landed an astounding 15.79 significant strikes per minute and has absorbed just 3.16 in return. His cumulative UFC fight time is just 57 seconds, and it is another indicator of him being a finisher. This may show that he will look to capitalize on any lapse in concentration if Pereira showboats.
