An exciting welterweight bout between Michel Pereira and Kalinn “Khaos” Williams is reportedly set to take place next month.
That’s according to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto who reported Saturday that the pair would collide in the UFC’s upcoming December 19 card. The bout is not made official yet but an announcement should be expected soon.

Pereira, of course, is known for his flashiness and acrobatics and is even willing to sacrifice his gas tank if he can entertain fans. The Brazilian most recently returned to the win column with a third-round submission win over Zelim Imadaev in September.
Williams, meanwhile, made headlines last week following his emphatic one-punch knockout of Abdul Razak Alhassan.
There’s bound to be a finish when he meets Pereira next month.

The UFC continues to pull all the stops in making its final card of the year a stacked one.
The December 19 card is headlined by a mouthwatering welterweight clash between Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev.
The likes of Stephen Thompson, Geoff Neal, Jose Aldo, Marlon Vera and Marlon Moraes are also featuring on the card.
Here is a full list of fights scheduled so far:
- Leon Edwards vs. Khamzat Chimaev
- Geoff Neal vs. Stephen Thompson
- Jose Aldo vs. Marlon Vera
