The UFC returns with a stellar card this Saturday for the UFC 320 pay-per-view event, featuring two exciting world title fights from Las Vegas. The main event will be the Light Heavyweight Championship rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira, the man Ankalaev stripped of the belt in their first encounter. In addition, the evening will feature Merab Dvalishvili’s bantamweight championship defense against challenger Cory Sandhagen.
Brazilian Alex Pereira will seek redemption, attempting to regain a belt he lost by unanimous decision to Ankalaev. This will be the third UFC title rematch for Pereira, a fighter with a remarkable career that includes being a middleweight champion. The fighter, who trains with Glover Teixeira, will have to defy the statistics: in 16 UFC title rematches since 2000, only four dethroned champions have successfully regained their belt.
Pereira, 38, has already proven his resilience in his previous division, winning and losing the middleweight title against Israel Adesanya. In the light heavyweight division, the fighter was crowned champion in just two fights, knocking out Jiří Procházka and defending the title three times. Now, in the main event of UFC 320, the focus is on whether Pereira can reverse his previous defeat or whether Ankalaev will solidify his reign.
Here are the verified times, broadcasts, and fight order for the event; eventhought the exact time both fighters will enter the cage has not been made public, but it is usually between 1 and 2 hours after the start of the main card, depending on the pace of the previous fights.
