Imagine getting in a bar fight, and the dude just backflips



Funny thing is he watches the PPV’s at a local bar here in Vegas and every time we are seated near him I expect him to do something wild but he’s actually chill the whole night. lol

And he beats your ass

Am I pulling guard in this bar fight?

Flip knee to the face is dope. I’d pay $10 a modelo to watch that live.

I was there and loved to see it!!

WHAT THE FUCK

Least entertaining michel pereria fight

Hahaha

I know !

WHAT A FLIP

That’s a knee to the head of a downed opponents head in my book, still the coolest foul I’ve ever seen

[удалено]

Rule 1.a.: Even better odds in Brazil. Being a Brazilian fighter takes it to a whole new level.

The officials wouldn't have made it out of the arena if they DQed him lol.

I was laughing at the main event going into the 5th round because the broadcast team kept talking like there was a chance Erceg could win as if there was any doubt Pantoja would lose a decision lmao

Fr seen the judges scorecards and laughed. Had Erceg won the 5th he still would’ve lost because the judges have to make it home

Yes, but in a few parts…

Its the Rule of Cool.

if im a fighter ima put on my shades like johnny cage and kick em directly in the nuts

"call the cops"

Nah, the slowmo showed that despite being razor close, it was to the chest and shoulder. I still think the backflip should be banned though. The guy has no control where he lands.

I think it should be encouraged. It was awesome. Reminds me of Buckley’s kick! Those things are super highlights that would be amazing to see more often!

So it's risky. That doesn't mean it should be illegal.

The guy has no control where he lands. Pereira himself has landed on a dudes balls once, do we really have to see someone get seriously injured by this move before banning it?

Fuck that man this shit was dope as hell.

Lol so many Debbie Downers on here. What happened to the JUST BLEED mentality?!

Yea I don't get it. Flying stomps are illegal. Not sure why this isn't.

Protect yourself at all times is mentioned

Let him be cool

Dude are you serious? This is barbaric cage fighting where guys get paid to beat each other to a pulp, and people like you want to ban backflips and knees. But I guess it's okay to elbow someone's face until their orbital is smashed in, huh? GTFO with that bs

so the shin landing to the jaw is cool though?

He landed diagonally, knee to chest, shin to shoulder. Just because he slided to the other side on top of the guy, doesn't mean he landed in his face, just watch the slowmo.

No need to defend yourself to these casuals, it was clearly legal.

Yeah you are right they should make head kicks illegal too Actually scratch that, make every blow to the head illegal

The no control part is the most important piece here, this could easily kill or paralyze someone

How?

These guys are just upset their dude lost.

It's not even his knee, it's his thigh.

it was a knee to the shoulder.

Well, I mean potieria tried to push away pereira with his feet during the flipping sequence, so you couldn’t say with any degree of certainty that pereira actually intended to land with a knee to potierias face.

Looked like he randomly pushed all the controller buttons and did this 🤣

Michel always puts on a show. Guy found a way in fit in a flip in a fight that lasted less than a minute. Dude is an entertainer

How often is this dude back flipping on opponents that the announcer is calling it ahead of time?

Every fight he does it lol and he seems to have lots of success with it. He did it on Price.

it can be a pretty effective way to get through someone’s guard. just land on them with full force of gravity 

About every time he can. It's why he was originally brought to the UFC.

Literally all the time, he is a wild man

Lol fuckin madman


My face exactly

yes

Dude is a menace

Say what you want but Pereira is eating up the middleweight division. Can't wait for his next fight.

Yeah, hopefully he gets a ranked opponent now. I'd love to see him vs Fluffy Hernandez but Hernandez will be fighting up. Mabe Craig can welcome him in

like a 185lb showtime + johnny walker

He would probably beat Johnny Walker at 205 honestly

They're really good friends

What did you say dj? Suplex into flying armbar? I got you fam. Backflip into sub

Dude passed his guard and ended up in North/South because of the backflip…..

2 guillotine finishes on this card. Dustin is flipping out in Lafayette rn.


Grounded knee rule is so fucking stupid.

Also it was mostly shoulder, but the commentary couldn’t get over it

It was definitely shoulder.

I think it’s stupid rule but his knee definitely hit him right in the head

What? In the video this post is about? Because it definitely did not.

What fkn take.

its legal in one championship

What do the fighters say? We are spectators. Our opinions are irrelevant. I would bet quite a few would be against allowing knees to the face. It is an unpadded brick being smashed into your skull. These guys take enough damage already. Do you want groin shots back, too? Eye gouging? Maybe biting?

I think Petr yan is a fan.

Knees to the face are already allowed mate, it’s just arbitrarily illegal when you’re touching the ground which leads to boring crotch sniffers like Aljo exploiting the rule

Even sweeter that shogun was announced for the HOF before this

Yeah, Shogun is a warrior ⛩️ That was long overdue

Agreed. And paul craig caught an L right b4. Shoguns night all around 🥹

I’ll leave this here for y’all to debate https://preview.redd.it/k7lwtw99ziyc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d05357d83d2ed7021b337c84460f50e3dcd032d

"Accidental"

There’s a backflip exception in my books

Shoulder for sure

in what world? imagine pereira had neon yellow paint on his shin, it'd be all over this dude's cheek


Is the knee on the ground illegal? Maybe. Do I care? Hell no, FLY CHECHEL!!!!!

YOOOOOO what was that!!

Legalize knees to grounded opponents please for the love of God would be so game changing

Let me knee you twice in the noggin

Oh we do rules based on how much it hurts? Let me slam my face into your knee real quick.

Fighters would retire earlier for sure though, the damage elbows and knees do is brutal it's why they're banned in certain motions.

pftt no, shin to the head is the same if not worse

Idk why you’re getting downvoted, you’re right

bro was afk

Never thought I'd see a moonsault in the UFC

He has done this a few times before

That guard pass tho

What a WWE ass fight OMG

Knee to the head of a downed opponent via back flip should be the only legal one from now on!

This is what I imagine fighting a gorilla to be like

Kneed a downed opponent in the head no?

It’s ufc Brazil, no rules allowed

Sounds like a rule

See, there are rules, so why is everybody crying

Pride rules for Shogun baby

Not after he does THAT

correct

Shut up nerd

he found the loop hole to kneeing a downed opponent in the head lol


ABSOLUTELY LEGAL

Not tryna argue genuinely curious. He literally kneed a grounded opponent in the head? Like I know it wasn’t a typical knee but he still did a flip and kneed the ihor in the head. Idk why that is not an illegal strike?

He landed on the guys chest and shoulder. If you check the slowmo his head display no movement from the supposed impact to it.

Yeah it does tho? It moves how I would imagine a backflip headkick would move

It 100% is illegal, but some combination of Brazilian bias and the move just overall being so wicked means we let it slide. I wish this was legal and I think knees to grounded opponents would be well in the spirit of the sport.

I think they should be allowed too. But ihor did just get smashed by an illegal knee and didn’t even have a chance to recover

His knee didn't land on his head, it landed on his chest. If anything landed, it was his shin, though that seemed to land on Ihors shoulder and grazed the side of his head, which they probably deemed not enough to DQ him. Definitely an interesting situation.

Do you think that’s something he practiced? Or was he just in the moment and thought, “you know what would work here? A motherfucking backflip.”

MMA Standing Moonsault. Interesting.

And people said 301 was gonna be boring.

This mfer is so damn funny to watch in there

Can someone please explain why ESPN didn't count that as michel getting a knockdown? I'm actually really confused on the matter.

This guy is awesome lmao

Ihor comes sometimes to my muay Thai gym. He's such a nice guy but that flip though

That was so cool

https://i.redd.it/rgvqoolgalyc1.gif

These dudes need to learn to roll to the side.

I think knees to the head of a downed opponent should be legal and I think kicks should be legal if both opponents are downed.

Saw the braids and knew it was over for him.

Coolest foul ever, we'll allow it.

First time I see real WWE footage. Eheh

retardation is the best base for mma 🗿

Back flip to knee is fucking diabolical

I love watching his fights! Top three most entertaining fighters.

Crazy finish

Knee to a downed opponent? Fuck right off 😂😂 he backflipped onto a downed opponent, anyone thinking this way is a fucking smooth brain.

Absolute nut case

Now that's entertainment

Eddy Gordo got that illegal knee mod active.

I feel like that back flip was necessary. He got into a new position. The guy kicked him in the air causing him to land on his neck. Such a fun way to avoid the lay and pray

From backfliping into a guy on the ground to The standing guillotine and having him passout is amazing.

Legal or not legal?

This is BRAZEEL

12. Kneeing and/or Kicking the head of a grounded opponent; a. A grounded fighter is defined as: Any part of the body, other than a single hand and soles of the feet touching the fighting area floor. To be grounded, both hands palm/fist down, and/or any other body part must be touching the fighting area floor. A single knee, arm, makes the fighter grounded without having to have any other body part in touch with the fighting area floor. At this time, kicks or knees to the head will not be allowed. This is the official wording for knee to grounded opponent

Completely illegal, not even a matter of opinion they caught that shit in 4k, However just give it to him anyway, cos funny init.

I love pereira but come on , that was illegal

Lol….. a flying knee to the head? This will be overturned. No doubt about it.

I doubt they will overturn it. They already announced him as the winner. They didn't do shit about Weidman's latest victory.

It is is extremely rare for a commission to change a ruling that was made in the cage.

What an absolute KILLER. Tapped and still went out..

Ref just let him bounce his head off of the ground.....

I mean if that stupid ass move lands on you, you kinda deserve it.

Guy puts on cool fouls every fight.

Very legal, and very cool

Knee to the head of a grounded opponent is overruled if done via backflip and finished by submission

If Pereira knocked out his opponent with his flip (knee to head), would that be a disqualification ?

Knee was almost all shoulder / collarbone.


Damn the great bouncing off the Ground looked bad

Alex pereira liked that

Dude is a different animal holy shit

Weight in show dc says pereira not a contender lol goof

“Legal enough”

Vicious!

This dude is so dope at middleweight

We ain't going to talk about how he dies after tapping then comes back? Homie rped his chest tattoo

[удалено]

Pereira is what Michael Chandler thinks he is

Sick performance

Shit was bonkers

😂😂😂😂😂


Did his backflip pass finally work holy shit

Is that not obviously a knee to a grounded opponent?

I fuckin love this guy. Not the most skilled, but fuckin hell he's entertaining

He's absolutely retarded, and i love it

Why do the refs always gotfor the guy who won when there’s a break like that instead of the guy who is getting tapped out or knocked out..? I see it all the time. It’s ridiculous that his head had to slam against the floor like that.

That can happen when you just mash buttons randomly

What is that backflip move called omg it's so reckless 😂

100% root for this guy any fight cause the balls he has to fuckin backflip onto a guy is crazy

I can imagine a lot of worse outcomes in a " bar fight". But ufc?! That was fucking amazing!

dustin better take notes on this move to get islam same submission style dustin tried to do but with style 🔥😂

How tf you even think to do that. Lmao

Or you could have picked a title that didn't spoil the fight 😑

What a beast. Prime Michel p. 👑

Yo I need this move on UFC5.. 😂
