Two of the most spectacular welterweights on the UFC roster will go head to head in a fight that promises fireworks at UFC Fight Night 183.
Michel Pereira arrived in the UFC with a reputation for the spectacular after some of his prior bouts for South Korean promotion Road FC went viral, and his performances inside the octagon have continued to exhibit that same, eye-catching fighting style.
The high-flying Brazilian will face a fellow 170-pound crowd-pleaser at the UFC Apex on Saturday night. Khaos Williams has exploded into the welterweight division with two quickfire knockouts. Williams (11-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) finished Alex Morono and Abdul Razak Alhassan in a combined 57 seconds to announce his arrival as a dangerous threat at welterweight, and now he’s set to face Pereira (24-11 MMA, 2-2 UFC) in a bout that could deliver one of the most spectacular fights of the night.
Ahead of their bout, former UFC welterweight title challenger and UFC analyst Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy invites us into “The War Room,” as he takes a deep dive into the matchup and offers his technical pointers ahead of the fight. Check out his pre-fight assessment via the video above.
