So, I was digging around the internet the other day, trying to find some info on this MMA fighter, Luciano Pereira. I heard some buzz about him and wanted to see what the deal was.
First, I tried to get a feel for what people were saying about him. It seems like folks think he’s a pretty big dude, and strong too. One thing I saw mentioned a few times was that just a little bit of counterpunching is all it takes with him. People seem to respect his skills in the MMA world.
- Started looking into his fight history.
- Found out he tried MMA from 2015-2020 while also kickboxing.
- It looks like he lost his first fight by submission in the third round. Bummer.
Then I found out that after his kickboxing career, around 2015 to 2020, Pereira decided to give MMA a shot. Apparently, it didn’t go so well at first. He lost his first fight. But hey, everyone starts somewhere, right?
After that, it seems like Pereira really doubled down on MMA. He started training with this guy, Teixeira, and became a full-time MMA fighter. He even made it to the UFC in 2021!
Trying to find videos
Now, here’s where it got a little tricky. I was hoping to find some videos of his fights, especially that UFC debut. It wasn’t as easy as I thought. I found more about his kickboxing career, which, don’t get me wrong, is impressive, but I really wanted to see him in the Octagon.
Summing it up
So, what did I learn about Luciano Pereira? He’s a Glory Kickboxing champ who transitioned to MMA. He had a rough start but kept at it and even made it to the UFC. Finding details on his MMA career, especially videos, proved to be a bit of a challenge. But it was an interesting deep dive, nonetheless. I guess you can’t win them all, even if you’re a kickboxing champ!
