Early career

[edit]

Michel Pereira began his professional mixed martial arts career fighting in regional promotions of his native state of Brazil, Pará, as well as 300 Sparta, amassing a professional record of 9–3 with notable wins over the veterans Daziel da Silva Jr. and Silmar Nunes. These early wins earned a chance to fight with the bigger promotions. Such as Jungle Fight and XFC.[3]

In his first fight and only fight with Jungle Fight, he faced Junior Orgulho. He won by a unanimous decision.[10]

His next fight was a loss versus Junior de Oliveira with Iron Man CF. After a win against Caio Robson, Michel Pereira earned a contract with XFC. Fighting on the prelims of XFC International 7, Pereira faced Geraldo Coelho. Responding to his opponent's pressure with clinching and a takedown, Pereira ended the fight in the third round by way of a guillotine choke.[11] His next fight was on the prelims of XFC International 9, during which he faced Cairo Rocha. With various techniques such as wheel kicks and flying knees, Michel earned a victory through a unanimous decision.[12] These two victories gave him a main even fight against Carlston Harris, which Pereira lost through a unanimous decision.[13]

Following this Pereira fought with various promotions during which he lost a decision against Abubakar Vagaev,[14] Ismael de Jesus[15] and Kurbanjiang Tuluosibake,[16] while also netting wins against Stanley Barbosa by way of an arm triangle choke,[17] as well decisions against Renato Gomes and Cristiano Estela Rios.[18]

Serbian Battle Championship and Road FC
