Michael Pereira is not happy with the way his fight with Diego Sanchez ended.<\/p>\n

The pair fought in the co-main event of last Saturday’s UFC Rio Rancho card on ESPN+. After seemingly winning the first two rounds, Pereira was disqualified in the third after landing he landed an illegal knee and Sanchez declared himself unable to continue fighting.<\/p>\n

In the wake of this fight, some members of the MMA community have criticized Sanchez for taking the easy way out of the fight and gaming the system for a win. It seems Pereira shares those opinions.<\/p>\n

In a recent post to Instagram<\/a>, Pereira took a pretty savage shot at his Rio Rancho rival.<\/p>\n

For context, Sanchez did an interesting rooster strut in the moments before the fight began.\u00a0Pereira says his foe entered the Octagon like a rooster, but left it like a chicken.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B8rNPqqJYTP\/<\/p>\n

“Diego Sanchez entered the Octagon like a rooster and left it by a chicken,” Pereira wrote in the caption for his post.<\/p>\n

With his DQ loss to Sanchez, Michel Pereira falls onto a two-fight skid, having experienced an upset loss to short-notice replacement Tristan Connelly in his next most recent fight. Prior to that, he made his UFC debut with a violent knockout of English veteran Danny “Hot Chocolate” Roberts.<\/p>\n

At present, it’s not clear what’s next for Pereira, though the 26-year-old Brazilian has stated he’s hoping for a future fight with Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

Who do you want to see him fight next?<\/p>\n
