Overview

• Pereira reclaimed the UFC light heavyweight belt at UFC 320 with an 80-second TKO of Magomed Ankalaev, dropping him with a right hand before finishing with ground strikes.
• New reporting shows Ankalaev received pre‑fight rib treatment, with his manager suggesting he should have withdrawn and Daniel Cormier saying the injury was real.
• Pereira left the event in a walking boot after injuring his foot during the bout, which he said may involve a broken bone.
• The champion publicly set his sights on heavyweight and called out Jon Jones for a future superfight, while dismissing Khamzat Chimaev’s challenge.
• Coach Glover Teixeira indicated Jiri Prochazka as a likely next opponent at 205, as Carlos Ulberg pressed his claim and floated either a title defense or a potential vacant-title matchup if Pereira moves up.
