Nobody hands you anything at middleweight. Michel Pereira — "Demolidor" to fight fans — has built a 32-15 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.
He fights at a pace most of the division can't hold — 4.28 strikes landed a minute, every minute. By round three, opponents are usually fighting his fight.
The last fight went to Shara Magomedov (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
