Won't face Michel Pereira
Tulio won't fight against Michel Pereira at UFC Shanghai on Aug. 23 due to an undisclosed injury, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The extent of the injury is unclear, but Tulio will have to wait to extend his impressive start with the company. He owns a 6-0 pro record and a 2-0 start in UFC following wins over Tresean Gore and Ihor Potieria. This means Pereira will now face Kyle Daukaus on Aug. 23.

Facing Pereira in August
Tulio will take on Michel Pereira in a middleweight bout at UFC Shanghai on August 23, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Tulio is off to a dream start in his professional MMA career, boasting a 6-0 record that includes two UFC wins. Most recently, he took care of Tresean Gore with a punch in the second round of a fight back in April. His next opponent Pereira is in desperate need of a win, as he's dropped two straight bouts.

Remains perfect in UFC
Tulio defeated Tresean Gore via TKO (punches) at 3:16 of Round 2 at UFC 314 on Saturday in Miami.
ANALYSIS
Tulio ballooned to north of a -500 favorite when this fight kicked off, and it ended up being nowhere near high enough. He constantly pushed forward and pressured Gore, throwing a ton of power shots and landing almost everything. When all was set and done, Tulio closed with a 127-17 edge in significant strikes landed. The ridiculous toughness of Gore is the lone reason this fight lasted as long as it did. How the Brazilian will fare when those power shots aren't landing is a legitimate concern, but that is yet to be a problem through two official fights with the company in addition to an appearance on Dana White's Contender Series.
