Reports of Michel Pereira making another quick turnaround to fight Roman Dolidze at UFC Fight Night in Louisville, Ky., appear to have jumped the gun. Following his 54-second finish at UFC 301 this past weekend, Pereira (31-11 MMA, 9-2 UFC) was reported to meet Dolidze (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in a three-round middleweight bout. However, on Friday, Pereira took to social media to explain that he never signed a contract or even verbally agreed to the matchup, mainly because Dolidze is a teammate and training partner at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas.
