Middleweights Michel Pereira, Abusupiyan Magomedov to Meet at UFC Kansas City
A clash of middleweights has been added to UFC Kansas City.
Michel Pereira (31-12) will take on Abusupiyan Magomedov (27-6-1) at 185 pounds on April 26 at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The matchup was first reported by Ag.Fight and was subsequently confirmed by Pereira on social media.
Pereira moved up to middleweight in 2023 despite being on a five-fight winning streak at welterweight. “Demolidor” was unbeaten in three middleweight outings before suffering a fifth-round TKO loss against Anthony Hernandez in his most recent outing this past October.
Meanwhile, Magomedov joined the UFC in 2022 and has since gone 3-2 in the promotion. The Russian’s losses came against top-tier competition in Sean Strickland and Caio Borralho. “Abus” is coming off consecutive wins over Warlley Alves and Brunno Ferreira in 2024.Ikram Aliskerov vs Andre Muniz Ahmad Sohail Hassanzada vs Mitch Ramirez Jaqueline Amorim vs Polyana Viana Malcolm Wellmaker vs Cameron Saaiman
