Ahead of their first clash at UFC 313 for the light heavyweight title, Magomed Ankalaev vowed to send Alex Pereira back to the tire shop where he once worked. The comment, made by a disrespectful fan at the pre-fight press conference, was met with a grin from the Dagestani. The buildup to their second fight at UFC 320 followed a similar pattern, with Ankalaev turning up the intensity on social media and once again targeting Pereira personally.
But the Brazilian superstar had the final word, knocking out Ankalaev in just 80 seconds to reclaim the 205-pound crown.
