Pereira has found a surge of activity after securing one fight in 2023. He has already fought and won twice in 2024; this will be his third booking of the year. Pereira is on the hottest streak of his fighting career, with three first-round finishes back-to-back over high-tier opposition in Ihor Potieria, Michal Oleksiejczuk, and Andre Petroski.
Hernandez is on a similar trend with one of the most impressive winning streaks at middleweight currently. It began with a submission victory over world-class BJJ practitioner Rodolfo Vieira in 2021, and most recently concluded with a submission win over the surging Roman Kopylov in February.
A decisive win for either man at the Vegas Sphere could see them springboard the rest of the rankings in their next booking, if not just a shot at the division’s top 10.
