IndependentPlatform is providing UFC 320 current outcomes, periodic updates as each round concludes, launch time plus top plays for the Magomed Ankalaev versus Alex Pereira 2 and Merab Dvalishvili versus Cory Sandhagen event lineup taking place Saturday evening at the T-Mobile Arena situated in Las Vegas, Nevada. The current UFC light heavyweight titleholder, Magomed Ankalaev, is attempting his initial safeguarding of the title against former champion Alex Pereira in a second encounter following their initial match in March during the five-round headlining event.
Ankalaev (23-2) holds the No. 7 rank in IndependentPlatform’s list of top fighters from any division. Originating from Dagestan, he achieved the title through a unanimous decision victory over Pereira earlier this year during UFC 313. Since his defeat in the closing moment of his 2018 entry into the UFC, Magomedov, currently 33, has remained undefeated over 14 subsequent contests.
Pereira (12-3) had been considered one of the most promising athletes prior to his loss against Ankalaev. This Brazilian competitor quickly amassed a 5-0 record in his initial five appearances within the UFC light heavyweight division, securing the championship, defending it thrice, and accomplishing four knockouts over Jiri Prochazka (twice), Jamahal Hill, and Khalil Rountree Jr. Pereira, aged 38, previously claimed the UFC middleweight title back in 2022.
The co-main event features the current UFC bantamweight titleholder, Merab Dvalishvili (20-4), who will be defending his title and his No. 3 position in the pound-for-pound rankings against experienced challenger Cory Sandhagen (18-5).
The UFC 320 preliminary matches begin at 6 p.m. ET, available on ESPN+, Disney+, and FX. The main card is scheduled to commence live at 10 p.m. ET, accessible via ESPN+ pay-per-view.
