Alex Pereira is seeking revenge. Seven months ago, Magomed Ankalaev beat Pereira for the UFC light heavyweight championship. “Poatan” has a chance to redeem himself in a title rematch at UFC 320 on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Pereira became a key player for the UFC through activity, defending his title four times in 13 months. A string of vicious knockouts made him a fan-favorite, but Ankalaev nullified that threat at UFC 313. Ankalaev, widely believed to be the better wrestler, outstruck Pereira in a largely forgettable fight. Pereira tries to redeem his surprisingly tepid last showing, while Ankalaev tries to cement himself as unequivocally the better man.
UFC 320’s co-main event is a fight fans have wanted for a long time. UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili is on a dominant run after beating Sean O’Malley (twice) and Umar Nurmagomedov. Dvalishvili can extend his record for the longest bantamweight win streak by fending off his next challenger. Cory Sandhagen has long been tabbed as a future champion. After repeatedly falling just short of a breakout, “The Sandman” finally gets his shot at undisputed gold.
Plus, the undercard could produce a new contender to the 205-pound title in the main event. Former champion Jiri Prochazka looks to stay relevant atop the division when he takes on former title challenger Khalil Rountree Jr. Prochazka has suffered a pair of brutal knockout losses to Pereira in title fights. But the native of the Czech Republic has been a forced in every other fight he’s had in UFC. Prochazka is coming off a vicious knockout of Jamahal Hill in January. Rountree Jr., meanwhile, has also been on quite the run of late. His only loss in the last three years came against Pereira as well, but the American has been on a destructive run outside of that fight with a 6-1 record that includes four knockouts.
