Michael Pereira has called out Jorge Masvidal yet again.

'Demolidor' took to Twitter to call out the 'BMF' titleholder for a bout in December, saying:

"let's fight in December don't run from me, I want to settle some accounts with you! @GamebredFighter @ufc @UFCBrasil @danawhite @seanshelby @espnmma"

Despite being unranked in the welterweight division, Michel Pereira is one of the fastest-rising prospects in the UFC. The Brazilian is currently on a three-fight winning streak. He recently defeated Niko 'Hybrid' Price at UFC 264 via a unanimous decision.

Michel Pereira called out Jorge Masvidal for the first time after his submission victory over Zelim Imadev at UFC Vegas 9.

After a dominating performance against Imadev, Pereira showed interest in challenging Jorge Masvidal for his 'BMF' title. He said:

"Dana White! Sean Selby! I want the BMF belt. Jorge Masvidal, be ready, you're next!"

Watch Michel Pereira's full post-fight interview where he calls out Jorge Masvidal below:

'Demolidor' is well known for his athletic abilities and unorthodox striking skills inside the octagon. However, Pereira's resume is no match for Jorge Masvidal's illustrious MMA career.

I don’t care what anyone says, Jorge Masvidal is still a BMF.

Taking the biggest fight of his career on six days notice epitomises that.

Many would’ve wilted under Usman’s pressure. Jorge didn’t.

He gave it his all & gave a good account of himself.

Props to Gamebred. #UFC251 https://t.co/fRTBTZWZ63

'Gamebred' has had a rollercoaster career in the UFC. He rose to stardom after knocking out Ben Askren in five seconds, a UFC record. Masvidal then lost back-to-back fights against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. The Florida native will look to return to the win column and make another push for the belt.

WHAT A KO 🤯
