Main Card

Anthony Hernandez

Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez makes his entrance into the cage flaunting a crisp clean record with 12 wins and 2 losses. His strengths are grappling, along with a 59% striking accuracy and an average of 4.30 significant strikes per minute. The win over Kopylov last noted enhanced his striking defense and demonstrated solid ground and pound strategies. In the next upcoming fight, Hernandez will probably try to use his grappling to dictate how the fight goes, trying to beat Pereira on the ground.

Hernandez skillfully works the chase to capture the opponent, with him toppling as many as 6.62 takedowns in a timeframe of 15 minutes successfully converting 49% of them. This ability is important to his game plan since it helps in preventing and wearing out the opponent and in the process scoring points that might win the fight in a court of law. To fight Pereira, chances are that Hernandez will utilize his ground game offensively, looking to hit or try and finish the fight with his exceptional average of 3.0 submissions per 15 minutes.

Michel Pereira

Michel ‘Demolidor’ Pereira, who has 30 fights under his belt, comes with a wealth of experience into the octagon. This superiority is also clear in his significant strikes statistics which stand at an average of 5.16 significant strikes incoming per minute, while he boasts of a 58% striking defense, meaning he will inflict more damage while keeping incoming attacks at bay. In his latest bout against Potieria, Pereira was also able to show effective offensive striking while controlling the pace of the fight, using the advantage of his length and good defense.

Perhaps Pereira’s best trait is his outstanding 94% takedown defense and this comes in quite handy against Anthony Hernandez who relies on grappling. The takedown average stands at a mere 1.53 per 15 minutes thus this fighter will likely look to keep the fight on the feet using his striking techniques and his quick footwork to outmaneuver Hernandez, thus, keeping the action from being dragged down by the skill grappler. Maximizing on his strikers skills and counter-fighting relative to the takedown approach, Pereira intends to weaken Anthony’s guard and dictate the pace of the fight.
