Drops tight decision in Vegas
Williams lost to Michel Pereira via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Fighting for the second time in less than five weeks, Williams was unable to replicate the success of his 30-second knockout win over Abdul Razak Alhassan in mid-November. Pereira's unorthodox style is difficult for any opponent to handle, but it's especially difficult for a power puncher such as Williams. Khaos is always looking for that one big fight-ending shot, and those are hard to find against an opponent such as Pereira who is known for his awkward movements. This was by no means a poor performance from Williams, but he's going to need to string together some victories in order to be considered any sort of legitimate contender in what is a loaded UFC welterweight division.

Quick turnaround against Pereira
Williams will take on Michel Pereira in a welterweight matchup at a UFC event scheduled for Dec. 19, Brett Okamoto of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams is fresh off a dominant performance, as he defeated Abdul Razak Alhassan via KO (punch) at 0:30 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Nov. 14. He displayed his power as he knocked out his second opponent in as many UFC fights. He'll face Pereira, who defeated Zelim Imadaev via submission (rear-naked choke) in early September. Pereira has an edge in height, but Williams has an advantage in reach.

Destroys Abdul Razak Alhassan
Williams defeated Abdul Razak Alhassan via KO (punch) at 0:30 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Khaos, indeed. There isn't a ton to break down here from a technical standpoint. Williams -- who entered as a +185 underdog -- blasted his overweight opponent with massive right hand down the middle and that was all she wrote. Referee Mark Smith was there to step in immediately but it was clear as day the fight was over. The power of Williams is truly terrifying. In his first two UFC bouts, he has knocked out Alhassan and Alex Morono (who won earlier Saturday) in a combined 57 seconds. There needs to be a congressional investigation if Khaos doesn't walk away with a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus after this one.

Opponent misses weight
Williams' opponent for Saturday's fight, Abdul Razak Alhassan, missed weight Friday, but the fight will proceed as scheduled, source reports.
ANALYSIS
Alhassan came in at 172.5 pounds, 1.5 pounds above the welterweight limit. While the fight will go forward nonetheless, Williams will be awarded 20 percent of Alhassan's purse.

Booked for Nov. 14 fight
Williams will fight Abdul Razak Alhassan at a UFC event in Las Vegas on Nov. 14, Marcel Dorff of MMADNA reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams will be making his return to the cage for the first time since February when he made his UFC debut by defeating Alex Morono via a second-round TKO (punches). Alhassan is coming off a loss via unanimous decision to Mounir Lazzez back in July but should still figure to have the upper hand over a very inexperienced opponent in Williams.
