Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalev will fight at the top of the UFC light heavyweight division. There has been talk of this matchup for a long time, and it will materialize at UFC 313. The Brazilian will face the strong Dagestan in a duel to defend his title.
Alex Pereira has remained undefeated since July 29, 2023 when he won by unanimous judges’ decision over Jan Blachowicz. The popular Poatan is currently riding a string of five straight wins, and on March 8 in Las Vegas he will likely look to extend his streak.
Alex Pereira was a champion of the middleweight category, and after moving to a division higher up he also reached for the title. In three years, the excellent kickboxer has established himself as a top star of the best MMA league in the world.
Magomed Ankalaev can boast even better results in recent years, although it should be mentioned here that, apart from Jan Blachowicz, the rivals the Russian fought were of a lower caliber than the ones Pereira left in defeat.
As an interesting note, it is worth mentioning that, like Pereira, Ankalaev also began his great series of fights without defeat with a win over the Pole. The Dagestanian knocked out Marcin Prachnio with a head kick and a series of punches in September 2018.
The Pereira vs. Ankalaev fight will take place on March 8 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and has been contracted for five rounds in the light heavyweight division limit.
