UFC 320 Preview: Pereira Seeks to Take Back the Title

Alex Pereira returns to the octagon at UFC 320 with one goal in mind. The former middleweight and light heavyweight champion wants his belt back, and he plans to get it through the same striking power that carried him to two division titles in less than two years.

The Path That Led Here

Pereira lost his light heavyweight championship to Magomed Ankalaev in March after defending it three times. The Brazilian fighter entered that bout with a torn ligament in his left knee, an injury he kept hidden from the athletic commission and his own team until after the fight ended.
