UFC 320: Ankalaev Defends Title Against Pereira in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, Nevada — UFC 320 took place on October 4, 2025, at T-Mobile Arena with two title fights headlining the card. In the main event, light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev defended his title against former champion Alex Pereira in a highly anticipated rematch.

The event began with early prelims at 6 p.m. ET, followed by prelims at 8 p.m. ET, and the main card commenced at 10 p.m. ET. In addition to the main event, bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili faced No. 4 ranked contender Cory Sandhagen in the co-main event, aiming for his third title defense of the year.

Pereira is looking to reclaim the title he lost to Ankalaev in March. “This fight means everything to me,” Pereira stated before the fight. “I want to show my true potential.” Ankalaev, on the other hand, seeks to maintain his record of 14 consecutive fights without a loss since his promotional debut in 2018.

The rematch comes after their first bout at UFC 313, where Ankalaev won by unanimous decision. Both fighters have adjusted their techniques, with Pereira focusing on overcoming prior injuries and Ankalaev enhancing his grappling skills.

Dvalishvili carries a remarkable winning streak of 13 fights in the bantamweight division, coming off a submission victory over Sean O'Malley. “I’m ready for this challenge,” Dvalishvili said about facing Sandhagen, who is determined to secure his first championship title after several near misses in title eliminators.

Fans eagerly awaited this event, with updates and results accessible throughout the night. Viewers tuned in on ESPN+ PPV for the main card fights, with a lively atmosphere reflecting the significance of these championship bouts.
