Both fighters received a $50,000 after they were adjudged to have had the Fight of the Night.
Elsewhere, Julianna Pena - who famously defeated Amanda Nunes in 2021 - defeated Raquel Pennington via split decision after five rounds to win the Women's Bantamweight Championship.
The Pereira fight was also notable for the Brazilian champion's striking power, with Joe Rogan stating after the fight: [Referee] Marc Goddard came up to me and he said, 'I've been doing this for 20 years, the way he hits people, the sound is like nothing I've ever heard before. It's ungodly'."
