A relatively new MMA fighter, Pereira, has a decade-long career in combat sports, with a successful kickboxing record. Despite his limited MMA bouts, Pereira understands the importance of grit and will in winning fights.
However, while Pereira might be relatively new to MMA , he has amassed plenty of experience in combat sports over a career spanning more than a decade. According to Glory Kickboxing records, Pereira had a 25-3 amateur kickboxing career with all of his wins coming via knockout. “Poatan,” which translates to “Stone Hands,” made his professional kickboxing debut in 2012 and went on to finish 21 of his 33 wins via knockout in a 40-fight career.
“I respect him a lot because even kickboxing fought guys that were not that experienced but had a lot of heart. A lot of eager to fight, so they gave a hard fight. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you’re the most technical, most experienced guy, but if you don’t have enough cardio, you don’t have enough heart.
" study his fights, I saw a lot of that. So, definitely respect that because sometimes, like I said, sometimes the guy can be the most technical but don’t have heart, don’t have cardio, he’s not gonna be as good as the guy that don’t have the same mileage but put the heart out.” While Hill made his MMA debut in 2017, he began training MMA in 2010 after turning down an NCAA basketball career. Hill kicked off his MMA record with five consecutive wins, including one over future UFC fighterin 2019 earned him a UFC contract where he racked up a 5-1-1 record to speed his way to a title shot. Hill dethroned Pereira’s teammate and mentor, Glover Texeira, via a unanimous decision after five rounds of war atin January 2023.
