“Seized The Opportunity” – Fans React As Kyle Daukaus Drops Jaws By Dropping And Finishing Michel Pereira In UFC Return At UFC Shanghai

Kyle Daukaus is back, returning to the UFC for the first time in three years and making a statement in a big way as he stops Michel Pereira during the UFC Shanghai prelims.

After a pair of elbows that connected roughly, the referee stepped in to stop the fight, much to the protest of Pereira.

Daukaus went 2-4 (1 NC) with the UFC between 2020 and 2022, including losses to Brendan Allen and Roman Dolidze, as well as a no-contest in a fight with Kevin Holland. Since his initial UFC release, Daukaus had won four straight, claiming the CFFC middleweight title and defending it twice.
