Main Event: Magomed Ankalaev (c) vs. Alex Pereira 2

The main event is a highly anticipated rematch for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.

The Story: Magomed Ankalaev (21-1-1) will defend his title against the man he took it from, Alex Pereira (12-3). The two first met at UFC 313 in March. Ankalaev won a close, tactical fight by unanimous decision to become the new champion. Now, Pereira gets his chance at revenge.

The Champion: Magomed Ankalaev is one of the most dominant forces in the UFC. The 33-year-old from Dagestan has not lost a fight since his debut in 2018. He is known for his elite wrestling, powerful grappling, and disciplined defensive striking. Ankalaev has predicted a more decisive win this time, stating, “This time I’m knocking Alex out.”

The Challenger: Alex Pereira is a legendary combat sports athlete. The 38-year-old Brazilian is a former two-division Glory Kickboxing champion and a former two-division UFC champion. His primary weapon is his devastating knockout power, especially his famous left hook. He will need to avoid Ankalaev’s takedowns to land the finishing blow he is known for.

Co-Main Event: Merab Dvalishvili (c) vs. Cory Sandhagen

The co-main event is a fascinating clash of styles for the UFC Bantamweight Championship.

The Story: Merab Dvalishvili (20-4) puts his belt on the line against top contender Cory Sandhagen (18-5). This will be Dvalishvili’s third title defense in 2025, a testament to his activity and dominance. For Sandhagen, this is his first opportunity to fight for the undisputed UFC title.

The Champion: Merab “The Machine” Dvalishvili is known for his relentless pace and overwhelming wrestling. The 34-year-old from Georgia has won 13 straight fights. He wears opponents down with constant takedown attempts and suffocating top control, making him one of the most difficult puzzles in the sport.

The Challenger: Cory “The Sandman” Sandhagen is one of the most creative and dynamic strikers in the bantamweight division. He uses a wide array of kicks, knees, and elbows from unconventional angles. His path to victory is to keep the fight standing and use his creativity to hurt the durable champion.

Featured Bout: Jiří Procházka vs. Khalil Rountree Jr.

A high-stakes light heavyweight battle is set to be a fan-favorite on the main card.

The Story: This fight between former champion Jiří Procházka (31-5-1) and Khalil Rountree Jr. (14-6) is a potential number one contender fight. The winner will be in a strong position to challenge for the light heavyweight title next.

The Fighters: Both men are explosive knockout artists. Procházka is a wild, unpredictable striker who pressures his opponents with constant attacks. Rountree Jr. is a powerful Muay Thai specialist with excellent defense and one-punch finishing ability. This fight is not expected to go the distance.
