If i didn't see Michel's last fight, then i would've put the house on Shara here. But I did see it and I saw that even though Michel is not entirely who he used to be, he still has a little bit of dog in him. Shara is always an interesting guy to break down because the told us he was a crazy looking killer, but thats not what we got. We got a very good striker who has great in and out movement, but not a killer. I think Shara wins here because of the movement and speed but I think people betting on him to win by KO because of Kyle Daukas MMA math will be frustrated. Shara is the pick and lets hope the books throw a 1.5 round line at us so we can hammer the over.

Michel Pereira

When Michel Peireira is on, he is an absolute beast with insane athleticism, real power and a side chick. Even though he has 46 professional fights, he is only 32 years old and has plenty of career ahead of him. He has powerful hands, solid wrestling, solid BJJ and incredible power. He's good at everything offensively, but is a better hammer than nail. He hit a bit of a skid in 2024 and 2025 but had a nice recovery in his last fight against Zach Reese where he was back his roots of being wild, faking nut shots and having no cardio.

Shara Magomedov

Shara Magomedov is a comic book villain with one eye, a gap tooth and a homeless beard. He also has incredible striking. He popped onto the scene about 2 years ago and was touted as a wild and insanely dangerous striker. Yes, he has 17 fights with 12 knockouts, but knockouts have not come as easy at the UFC level. He very fast and will mix up his striking techniques. His takedown defense is just ok and his offensive takedowns are non existent and his chin is granite. He is coming off decision win over Marc-Andre Barraiult where he was taken down a few times but ran away with the striking.
