UFC 320 Ankalaev vs Pereira 2 – Title Fights and Legacy at Stake

UFC 320 brings two massive title fights to Las Vegas. Ankalaev vs Pereira 2 headlines a high-stakes card joined by Dvalishvili vs Sandhagen for the bantamweight crown.

A Night of Champions in Las Vegas

On October 4, 2025, the T-Mobile Arena will host UFC 320 Ankalaev vs Pereira 2 – a night set to deliver fireworks with two championship bouts, elite contenders, and redemption stories that span multiple weight classes.

The spotlight is firmly on the Light Heavyweight title rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira. But the co-main event, a clash for the bantamweight belt between Merab Dvalishvili and Cory Sandhagen, is just as loaded with intrigue.

Ankalaev vs Pereira 2: Technical Control Meets Knockout Threat

Magomed Ankalaev steps in as the defending champion, having defeated Pereira at UFC 313 in a composed performance that showcased his grappling superiority and ability to neutralize high-risk exchanges. Ankalaev’s 14-fight unbeaten streak speaks to his dominance in the division. His background in sambo and wrestling makes him one of the most difficult fighters to pin down, both physically and strategically.

Across the Octagon stands Alex Pereira, one of the most fearsome strikers in MMA history. A former two-division champ and decorated kickboxer, Pereira’s left hook has changed careers. After falling short in their first fight, he’s recalibrated his approach and enters the rematch with the goal of reclaiming his light heavyweight title. His motivation is personal, and the stakes are nothing short of legacy.

This isn’t just a rerun. It’s a style clash reloaded, one defined by precision, pressure, and power.

Co-Main Event: Merab Dvalishvili vs Cory Sandhagen

In the bantamweight division, a relentless grinder meets a creative striker. Merab Dvalishvili has bulldozed his way through the ranks with unmatched cardio and takedown volume. His recent win over Sean O’Malley solidified his status as a suffocating force at 135 pounds.

Cory Sandhagen, by contrast, is all about angles, timing, and rhythm. His movement frustrates opponents, and his striking blends fluidity with danger. With a win over Deiveson Figueiredo, Sandhagen earned his shot at UFC gold—and he’ll need all of his agility to keep Dvalishvili off his back.

This fight promises to be fast-paced and unpredictable, testing both men’s ability to adapt under pressure.

Jiří Procházka Lurks in the Background

Adding tension to the main event is the presence of former light heavyweight champion Jiří Procházka. As the official backup and a featured fighter on the card, he stands ready to step in if needed and looms as a future threat to whoever leaves with the belt.

Why UFC 320 Matters

With two titles on the line and contrasting fighting styles across the board, UFC 320 isn’t just another card—it’s a defining moment for multiple divisions. From Ankalaev’s quiet dominance to Pereira’s comeback fire, and from Dvalishvili’s grind to Sandhagen’s flair, every storyline brings something compelling.

Whether you’re tuning in for the belts, the tactics, or the sheer spectacle of it all, UFC 320 is set to deliver a night of elite-level mixed martial arts at its most dramatic.
