Michael Pereira left his calling card in style in the UFC middleweight (up to 83,9kg). Entering the division after problems with weight cuts in the welterweight division (up to 77,1kg), the 'Paraense Voador' was not aware of Andre Petroski, an athlete who was undefeated in Ultimate.

About two minutes into the fight, Aliskerov connected with a powerful jab to Warlley's face, who hit the ground and quickly got up. Taking advantage of the fact that the Brazilian had felt the blow, the Russian followed up with a high kick, a spectacular flying knee and a relentless sequence of punches until the referee stopped him for a technical knockout.
