Kody Steele just about had it when Sean Shelby told him to remove his hand wraps. It was the second time he received such instructions within the hour. Constant peaks and dips of adrenaline and focus resulted in frustration followed by a crash and then acceptance that, frankly, there wasn’t anything he could do about things. Scheduled to fight Quemuel Ottoni (12-3) in a lightweight bout Tuesday, Steele (6-0) arrived to the locker room and was notified the fight was canceled shortly after. His hand wraps were removed. That’s when the UFC’s lightweight matchmaker appeared in the locker room.

Since losing to Ottoni in his MMA debut, Pereira went on to win three straight before signing with the UFC in 2021. With his history with then middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, it took “Poatan” only three octagon wins before earning a title shot
