Alex Pereira Defends Light Heavyweight Title Against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313

Pereira aims for a fourth title defense while Ankalaev seeks to extend his 13-fight unbeaten streak in Las Vegas.

Alex Pereira, known for his striking power, enters UFC 313 on a five-fight winning streak, including three title defenses in the light heavyweight division.
Magomed Ankalaev, the division's top contender, has not lost in 13 fights and aims to secure his first UFC title after being overlooked in prior opportunities.
Pereira’s odds have tightened as Ankalaev’s grappling and striking capabilities pose a significant challenge in the main event.
The co-main event features a lightweight rematch between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev, with Fiziev stepping in on short notice following Dan Hooker’s withdrawal.
The main card also includes bouts between rising contenders and seasoned fighters, offering a mix of experience and potential future title challengers.
