UFC CEO Dana White confirmed that Alex Pereira suffered a significant foot injury during his dominant first-round TKO victory over Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Pereira reclaimed the light heavyweight title in spectacular fashion, stopping Ankalaev at 1 minute and 20 seconds of the opening round with a crushing right hand followed by ground and pound strikes. The victory marked Pereira’s return to the top after losing the belt to Ankalaev by unanimous decision in March 2025.
