An exciting middleweight co-main event is set for UFC Fight Night in Baku on June 27th, as the explosive Shara Magomedov meets the unpredictable Michel Pereira. Both men bring genuine finishing power and a flair for the dramatic, and our prediction leans on Magomedov's superior recent form and far cleaner chin.
Bullet enters with a phenomenal 16-1 record, his only blemish a decision loss to Michael "Venom" Page. He responded by grinding out a unanimous decision over the durable Marc-Andre Barriault in July 2025, a professional, if unspectacular, return to winning ways built on his kick-heavy Muay Thai style.
Demolidor, a 32-14 veteran famous for his capoeira-infused chaos, has had a far rockier road. Pereira rode an eight-fight UFC win streak before everything unraveled: a fifth-round TKO loss to Anthony Hernandez in October 2024, a decision loss to Abus Magomedov in April 2025, and a brutal 43-second knockout loss to Kyle Daukaus last August.
He snapped that three-fight skid with a controversial split decision over Zach Reese in February, but the chin concerns remain very real. Two of those three defeats came by strikes, exactly the kind of damage Magomedov's 12 career knockouts suggest he's capable of inflicting.

Our Shara Magomedov vs Michel Pereira Prediction
This middleweight clash is unlikely to go the distance given the finishing instincts both men carry. Pereira will look to throw the Dagestani off rhythm with his trademark unpredictability, but his defensive lapses have proven costly against fighters who can find the range, and twice in his last four fights, opponents have done exactly that.
Magomedov is sharp and well equipped to exploit those same openings. Hence, our Shara Magomedov vs Michel Pereira prediction is that Magomedov wins by KO, TKO, or DQ.
