Chris Taylor - October 5, 2025
The Octagon returned to T-Mobile Arena for tonight’s UFC 320 event, and five fighters wound up taking home performance bonuses. The highly anticipated light heavyweight title fight rematch resulted in an absolutely dominant performance from Alex Pereira. ‘Poatan’ came out super aggressively and ended up tagging Magomed Ankalaev with a big right hand around the one-minute mark of the opening frame. That shot clearly rocked the Russian and prompted him to shoot in for a takedown. Pereira ended up stuffing the attempt and taking top position on the ground. From there, Alex proceeded to unleash some big punches and then ultimately finished the fight with some savage elbows. In the end, Pereira needed just 80-seconds to reclaim his light heavyweight title.
