Pereira Reclaims Light‑Heavyweight Title at UFC 320

At UFC 320 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Alex Pereira defeated Magomed Ankalaev via first‑round TKO at 1:20 — flooring Ankalaev with a big right and finishing with elbows and ground‑and‑pound before Herb Dean waved off the fight — to reclaim the UFC light‑heavyweight title. The win avenged Pereira’s March loss to Ankalaev, snapped Ankalaev’s 14‑fight unbeaten streak, and made Pereira a three‑time, two‑division UFC champion. On the same card, Merab Dvalishvili retained the bantamweight title by unanimous decision and Jiri Prochazka scored a dramatic comeback knockout, outcomes that reshape contender picture at 205 and 135 pounds. The performances prompted immediate discussion among fighters, commentators and UFC officials about Pereira’s future weight class and potential blockbuster matchups. The night’s results have set up possible high‑profile rematches and new title fights across multiple divisions.
