Ankalaev Aims to Cement His Legacy with Title Defense Against Pereira at UFC 320
Alex Pereira aims to reclaim the UFC light heavyweight title in a highly anticipated rematch after losing to Magomed Ankalaev earlier this year at UFC 313.
- On Saturday, Alex Pereira, former UFC light heavyweight champion, challenges Magomed Ankalaev for the title in UFC 320's main event at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.
- After losing the belt at UFC 313 in March, Alex Pereira seeks a rematch six months later against Magomed Ankalaev, who won by unanimous decision.
- Training camp focused on cardio and positioning as Pereira admitted he was only 40% of his normal self and has fought nine of 11 title bouts under lead coach Glover Teixeira.
- The result will determine the UFC light heavyweight champion and shape both fighters' careers, while speculation says Pereira's 205 pounds future may end Saturday despite Ankalaev being a 2-to-1 favorite.
- Tensions have heated with run-ins and trash talk as Magomed Ankalaev on X warned, `This guy has been knocked out 3 times in his career, I never been knocked down. This time, I will give him his 4th knockout, end of the story.
