Major Fighters in UFC 320: Ankalaev vs Pereira 2
Magomed Ankalaev
Ankalaev won the light heavyweight belt in March as he defeated Pereira in a unanimous decision. His professional MMA record now stands at 21-1-1, with 12 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw in the UFC. His only loss was against Paul Craig back in 2018, while he drew with former light heavyweight Jan Blachowicz in 2022. His undefeated record currently spans 14 fights and 52% of his career wins have been by KO/TKO.
Alex Pereira
Alex Pereira earned a fearsome reputation in the UFC since he arrived in 2021, winning the middleweight title in his first 4 fights, including KO wins over Sean Strickland and Israel Adesanya. After losing the rematch to Adesanya, he moved up to light heavyweight, where he won the belt with a KO over Jiří Procházka before securing 3 title defenses, with stoppage wins against Jamahal Hill, Jiří Procházka, and Khalil Rountree Jr. Pereira’s professional MMA record now stands at 12-3, and an impressive 83% of his wins have been by KO/TKO.
Merab Dvalishvili
Despite losing his first 2 fights in the UFC, Merab Dvalishvilli is now on an incredible 13-fight win streak in the bantamweight division. He’s 20-4 in his career and after beating Jose Aldo, Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo back to back, finally got his title shot against Sean O’Malley. He won the title in a unanimous decision before defending against Umar Nurmagomedov in a fight that was awarded the Fight of the Night bonus. Merab’s last time in the Octagon saw him defend his belt against O’Malley, this time stopping the former champion in the 3rd round.
Cory Sandhagen
Sandhagen has a professional record of 18-5, with 11 wins and 4 losses in the UFC. He’s currently the number 4 ranked fighter in the bantamweight division and has a recent win over former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, as well as Rob Font, Marlon Vera and Yadong Song. However, he also has losses to Umar Nurmagomedov, Petr Yan and T.J. Dillashaw. 44% of Sandhagen’s have been by KO/TKO.
Fight Card & Betting Odds
Main Event
This is a rematch of the main event of UFC 313, which saw Ankalaev crowned the light heavyweight champion after beating Pereira over 5 rounds. Since then, both fighters have had a few months off to recover and train. Ankalaev was able to neutralise Pereira in their first fight, keeping constant pressure, using front kicks to the body and holding him against the cage in the later rounds. He also wobbled Pereira in the 2nd round. As a result, Ankalaev is currently the betting favourite for the rematch according to the latest MMA odds.
Pereira had an incredible run through the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions, which made him the most popular fighter on the roster. His excellent kicks and heavy left hooks meant he was a threat to anyone in either division. However, he struggled to get going the last time he met Ankalaev, landing just 76 significant strikes, most of which were calf kicks. He’ll have to be much more active to win the rematch.
Co-Main Event
Merab has looked unstoppable over his current 13-fight win streak, more or less clearing out the division of contenders on his way to securing the belt. His last fight saw him get a rare stoppage as he submitted O’Malley for his 2nd title defence, but he doesn’t normally aim to finish his opponents. Constant grappling and relentless pressure are the main weapons of Dvalishvili, who has incredible cardio that is hard for any opponent to deal with. Understandably, he’s a strong favourite in this match.
Sandhagen has excellent striking and will have a significant height and reach over Dvalishvili. However, he has previously lost to top opposition in the bantamweight division, and his opponent at UFC 320 will likely be too good for him. If he can attack the body of Dvalishvili, he has a chance to slow him down, but it will be tough for the UFC odds underdog to avoid the grappling exchanges.
