Diego... he knows, that he was bad and he will lose the fight... so he takes the disqualification win.
You can be so proud of your win, Diego...

I understand it was an illegal knee, but I find it funny that Diego seemed willing to fight at first, then found out he could get a win by DQ if he couldn’t continue, so he caved.
Seems a little cowardly.

man you guys are being a little harsh. Diego isn't a *****, he's not a *************. dude got in there and took that beating. father time and likely brain damage has clearly taken a toll. shameful for sure, it's more sad than anything.

Even though I picked Anderson, I hope he gets flat-lined.
His antics at UFC 244 were beyond distasteful. Plus, he comes off as a self-entitled prick.

This is why knees to the head of a grounded opponent should be legal in the unified rules.

There was only a couple minutes left in that fight. You know Michel and Diego would have danced around for that remaining time and Michel would have gotten the win. Instead, Diego played the system and took the ***** way out. Maybe he can use that win bonus to treat his ******* delusional CTE brain.

Not sure Diego’s salary/win bonus but he was given an opportunity to collect and took the money I guess.  That entire display was bizarre as **** though.

as a pro fighter, you should know better than to knee a downed opponent. ****** way to win a fight 100%. Had that not happened, I'm sure diego would've taken the last 2 more minutes of trauma. If you have the presence of mind to dance around and showboat and ****, you only have yourself to blame. end of the day, everyone knows who won that fight. *** do records mean in the ufc anyways. unfortunate.

Moral of the story is Pereira costs himself another fight. No ones fault but his own.
