This is the UFC 270 live blog for Michel Pereira vs. Andre Fialho, a welterweight main card bout on Saturday’s fight card at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
The 170-pound bout features the acrobatic Pereira in his seventh octagon appearance. The Brazilian has earned a record of 4-2 thus far in competition, with a three-fight winning streak – including wins over tough veterans Khaos Williams and Niko Price – leading him into Saturday’s fight.
Pereira was originally scheduled to fight the hyped Muslim Salikhov. However, after Salikhov pulled out of the event due to unknown reasons, Fialho took over the bout on very short notice. The UAE Warriors veteran has won his past four fights, finishing all of his opponents including UFC vets Stefan Sekulic and James Vick, and holds a record of 14-3 in professional competition. The trio of defeats he suffered were against UFC signees Anderson dos Santos Jr., Chidi Najokuani and Chris Curtis.
