Brazil’s Alex Pereira returns to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas looking to reclaim the light-heavyweight crown as he takes on Magomed Ankalaev once more in a much-anticipated title rematch fight headlining UFC 320.
After a week that’s seen the premier MMA promotion company ink a new multi-billion dollar TV deal, as well as firm up plans for an event at the White House, it’s back to business in the Octagon this weekend, with UFC 3120 offering up an intriguing light-heavyweight title fight rematch in Las Vegas.
The original encounter between these two fighters back in March at UFC 313 saw Ankalaev deliver a major upset to claim the title by beating Pereira via a unanimous decision. That fight saw the Russian star approach the bout on the front foot, with the then-defending champ unable to land any of his trademark haymaker strikes.
Saturday’s card also boasts a second title fight, with bantamweight king Merab Dvalishvili looking to defend his belt against Cory Sandhagen in the co-main, while there’s a tasty-looking light heavyweight bout further down the bill between Jiří Procházka and Khalil Rountree Jr., with the winner likely earning a shot at whoever emerges from the main event.
