No-shows first UFC main event
Pereira lost to Anthony Hernandez via TKO (elbows) at 2:22 of Round 5 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Riding high on an eight-fight winning streak heading into his first UFC main event, Pereira put forth one of the worst efforts you will ever see. To say he had nothing for Hernandez would be the understatement of the century. He did manage to fend off 19 takedown attempts, but that's irrelevant because he allowed 10 to land. The 15:42 he spent being controlled on the mat ensured he wasn't able to get his explosive striking game going in the least. Look, Hernandez is a tough matchup for any middleweight, but you can't fancy yourself a contender and go out and put forth this type of performance. The Brazilian is going to have a difficult time rebounding from this result.

Another fight in September
Pereira will take on Anthony Hernandez at UFC 306 September 14, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Pereira has been on a tear in 2024, beating Michal Oleksiejczuk and Ihor Potieria both by submission to amass to an eight match win streak. The Brazilian middleweight will fight Hernandez, who has utilized a submission in four of his six UFC wins, so the matchup could very well be decided on the ground.

Quick turnaround
Pereira will take on Roman Dolidze at UFC Louisville on June 8, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pereira will be right back at it following his UFC 301 victory over Ihor Potieria. That was Pereira's eighth consecutive victory and he has looked very impressive since making the move from welterweight to middleweight. Dolidze last fought in February when he fell to Nassourdine Imavov.
