Michel Pereira, a UFC fighter, left the octagon to rescue a pack of dogs from the flooding in Rio Grande do Sul.

The devastating floods in southern Brazil have affected 2.12 million people and resulted in 150 deaths, according to Brazilian authorities.

This tragedy deeply moved the formidable Michel Pereira, who, after defeating Ihor Potieria at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, flew directly to the disaster area to help.

"I am exhausted but never tired of helping. I have never seen anything like this in my life, so I chose to be on the front line. We stand with you, Rio Grande do Sul," Pereira stated on his social media.

One act that captivated the world was the extraordinary rescue of a pack of dogs by the Brazilian fighter in the disaster zone.

Pereira has been recognized by the UFC for his remarkable performances, but now he has achieved something akin to his superhero idols: worldwide recognition for his big heart in saving the most defenseless.
