UFC Baku on June 27 features two middleweight bouts, each pairing a Brazilian fighter against a Russian opponent at 185 pounds.
Kicking off the UFC Houston main card, Brazil's Michel Pereira was paired up with Zach Reese in a fight fans no doubt hoped would set off a powder keg. "Demolidor" had fallen on hard times, with the popular welterweight having lost three straight. Reese let loose with some cracking leg kicks early, but Pereira timed one, coming over the top with a punch.
