Since signing with the UFC in 2019, Brady is 5-1 with two submission wins and three decision wins which includes some notable names like Michael Chiesa and Jake Matthews. The No. 8 welterweight will be looking to back up the lone loss of his campaign, a second-round TKO setback to Belal Muhammad at UFC 280 Abu Dhabi.
While Michael Pereira who made his MMA debut in 2011, has significantly far more experienced in the cage as evidenced by his 28-11-2 record. Pereira resides currently on #14 in the welterweight division and has amassed a record of 6-2 since joining UFC in 2019. His five-fight win streak will be at stake when he faces the American sensation at the UFC Fight Night event on March 25th.
