Promising a spectacle for the fans in Barra da Tijuca, the “Flying Para” delivered and soon dispatched his rival. In a few seconds, the Brazilian knocked Potieria down. However, the Ukrainian survived.
But soon after, Pereira managed to land a deadly guillotine, which didn’t give Ihor time to finish the three tap-outs and he fell out of the octagon.
With this, the fighter from Pará raises his record to 31-11, 1 SR, making it eight wins in a row in the organization. “The Duelist”, on the other hand, suffered his third loss in his last four Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts, seeing his record fall to 20-6.
