It’s been a long road back to the octagon for Tristan Connelly . The 35-year-old Canadian, who had one of the most impressive UFC debuts in recent memory when he upset the high-flying Michel Pereira in September 2019, hasn’t competed since then.

MMA Junkie’s 2019 ‘Upset of the Year’: Tristan Connelly moves up, beats Michel Pereira on 5 days’ notice

BAD MMA News — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 00:58:48 +0000

One of the most compelling aspects of MMA is the fact that there are so many ways to win – or lose – a fight. It means that even the best in the world are never truly safe from defeat. In a sport that is constantly evolving, shock results are commonplace, and 2019 was certainly no different. Our pick for MMA Junkie’s “Upset of the Year” had a little bit of everything. As the smaller man stepping up at short notice to take on a hyped knockout artist with an eye for the spectacular, few gave Canadian lightweight Tristan Connelly much of a chance against high-flying, back-flipping, capoeira-kicking human highlight reel Michel Pereira at UFC on ESPN+ 16.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – UFC execs can’t really play favorites but, as a fellow Canadian, UFC head of international Dave Shaw could perhaps be forgiven for being particularly enthused by the performance of his countryman Tristan Connelly at UFC on ESPN+ 16 on Saturday night. Connelly (14-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC) negotiated a tricky opening round against high-flying, back-flipping Brazilian Michel Pereira before getting to work employing his gritty, high-pressure gameplan to eventually seal a unanimous decision victory after stepping in, and stepping up a weight class, on five days’ notice. It earned Connelly a six-figure bonus and the adoration of the Rogers Arena crowd.
