Here's when to expect Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira to walk out to the cage for their title-fight rematch at UFC 320.
Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira have done plenty of trash talking to each other and about each other in the build-up to UFC 320, and all that's left is the fighting. This light heavyweight title bout scheduled for five rounds is taking place Saturday, October 4 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The fight is an immediate rematch of a five-round affair that took place seven months ago at UFC 313, also at T-Mobile Arena, where Ankalaev, 33, came away with a unanimous decision to claim the 205-pound championship from 38-year-old Pereira.
Prior to that, Pereira, a former middleweight champion, had successfully defended the title three times in seven months against Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree. After such a grueling schedule, Pereira took five months off before fighting Ankalaev, and he looked reluctant to throw punches in the fight. Will that be the case again Saturday night?
Ankalaev hasn't lost a fight since March 2018. His undefeated streak includes 12 wins, a draw and a no contest. Ankalaev surprisingly outstruck Pereira while having all of his takedown attempts stuffed, leading to the win at UFC 313. We'll see if Saturday night unfolds similarly.
Here are the walkout times for the UFC 320 main event between Ankalaev and Pereira.
