UFC 313 will culminate in a long-awaited title fight this weekend, as Alex Pereira defends the light-heavyweight belt against Magomed Ankalaev.
Pereira, a former middleweight champion, has been dominant since moving up to 205lb, winning the belt with a knockout of Jiri Prochazka in 2023 and retaining the gold against the Czech, Jamahal Hill and Khalil Rountree – all via stoppage in 2024.
