Okamoto: This was the year of 'Chama' in mixed martial arts. Not only did Pereira put together the best campaign of 2024, he put together one of the best 12-month stretches of all time.
Pereira headlined UFC 300 in April with a broken toe, when the UFC ran out of other marquee options. He headlined UFC 303 in a rematch against Jiří Procházka just 77 days later, after Conor McGregor withdrew.
Throughout 2024, the accomplishments of fighters like Pereira were underscored by their commitment to take on challenges on short notice and deliver memorable performances.
The milestone event at UFC 300 highlighted not just spectacular knockouts, but also showcased the growth of new stars, including a two-time Olympic gold medalist making their MMA debut.
