Alex Pereira is once again the UFC light heavyweight champion.
As soon as their rematch got underway at UFC 320, Pereira walked down Ankalaev and delivered a booming right hand that had the defending champ rocked early. Ankalaev attempted a desperation takedown, but that only allowed ‘Poatan’ to get on top and rain down a series of hellacious elbows to the head and body.
With Ankalaev turtling up and taking damage, Herb Dean had seen enough, stopping the contest just 80 seconds into the scrap.
Official Result: Alex Pereira def.
