The Brazilian was competing on a one-fight contract for his Shara Magomedov fight last month in Baku, losing a close decision to “Bullet” after three rounds of foul-laden action. The 32-year-old Brazilian has now dropped four of his last five and stands at 32-15 in his pro career. MMA Fighting brought word of the roster change on Tuesday. Pereira started off at welterweight but routinely struggled to maintain his weight, forcing an eventual move up to 185 pounds. “Demolidor” is one of few UFC athletes who can say they were ranked in two different weight classes but ultimately, Pereira was unable to capitalize on his position. Pereira has seven post-fight performance bonuses in his career with three “Fight of the Night” honors. No telling where “Demolidor” will end up. PFL remains a viable alternative to UFC and the blossoming bare knuckle scene also remains an option. For more results and highlights from UFC Baku click here.
