Alex Pereira had one of the most memorable UFC title runs in recent history. It's a shame it's end will be so poorly remembered. Magomed Ankalaev unseated Alex Pereira to win the light heavyweight title at UFC 313.

UFC is back in Las Vegas for a blockbuster UFC 313 event featuring a light heavyweight title fight between champion Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev.

This is the second title shot Ankalaev has had in his UFC career. His first opportunity came at UFC 282 in December 2022, drawing with Jan Blachowicz. Yet, the Russian fighter has not lost since his first UFC bout in March 2018. Ankalaev has a career record of 19-1-1 with one no contest, with 10 victories coming by KO.
