UFC 320 Ankalaev vs Pereira
AJ Lets Talk Sports
UFC 320 is set for October 4, 2025, at the T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The headline bout is a rematch for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship: *Magomed Ankalaev**, the reigning champion, faces former champ **Alex Pereira**, who is seeking to reclaim the belt after losing it to Ankalaev via unanimous decision earlier in the year at UFC 313. The card also features a bantamweight title clash as co‑main event, with **Merab Dvalishvili* defending against *Cory Sandhagen**, plus a high‑profile light heavyweight bout between **Jiří Procházka* and *Khalil Rountree Jr.*
The event’s lineup has seen some changes: Ozzy Diaz withdrew shortly before the event, prompting *Treston Vines* to step in on just four days’ notice to fight *Ateba Abega Gautier* in a middleweight preliminary bout. The fight is particularly intriguing given that immediate rematches in UFC history have had mixed outcomes, and only a small number of former champions have managed to win back their title in a rematch. With Pereira seeking redemption and Ankalaev aiming to solidify his hold on the light heavyweight division, UFC 320 promises to be a high-stakes night of championship action.
