Magomed Ankalaev vs Alex Pereira 2: when and where to watch the rematch fight at UFC 320.

According to The Sun: MAGOMED ANKALAEV will meet Alex Pereira again at the fierce UFC 320 event – but fans in the UK will have to stay up late to find out how this title match will unfold.

The legendary kickboxer Pereira left the T-Mobile Arena with disappointment after their March bout, in which Ankalaev took the light heavyweight title from him.

The Russian dominated the grappling, ultimately receiving judges' scores of 49-46, 48-47, and 48-47 in his favor.

This was a surprise, as Pereira had successfully defended his title four times in the 13 months prior, winning all fights by knockout.

After nearly seven months of reflection on the loss, the Brazilian master will seek revenge in front of a packed crowd in Las Vegas.
