UFC 313 Main event: Pereira vs. Ankalaev

Alex Pereira (12-2) began in 2023 with the loss of his UFC title title in the middle weight against Israel Adesanya through Knockout. In July Pereira followed this setback with a victory against the former title of the UFC Light Heavyweight, Jan Błachowicz, in his UFC debut at £ 205. He ended the year by knocking out the Kingpin Jiří Procházka from ex-UFC at UFC 295 to claim the vacant UFC 205 pound title.

Pereira distributed his first defense of his crown in April when he excluded 300 matchups (another) EX UFC champion in heavy heavyweight, Jamahal Hill, in the first round of her UFC. Pereira showed that his power lies on a different level when he ended Hill 3:14 in the first round of the main event of UFC 300.

In June, the UFC asked Pereira and Procházka to lead UFC 303 when Conor McGregor's struggle fell against Michael Chandler.

After the fight that Pereira won over a knockout with 13 seconds in the second stanza, I wrote:

Pereira showed that his first victory against Prochazka was no coincidence. The UFC Light Heavyweight Champ is a terrifying fighter who puts a lot of strength in his strokes, but it is also an extremely focused competitor who doesn't bother him.

Pereira effectively scored two knockouts on Saturday evening and blew the former champion Jiri Prochazka on the bell on the mat to end the first round, and then sent him back in the first moments of the second round with one head kick.

In August the UFC Pereira booked against Khalil Rountree Jr.

Pereira recorded his third UFC title defense from 2024 on Saturday evening. Pereira let his opponent, Khalil Rountreen Jr., tire of the early struggle of the fight, while he also slowed him down with powerful kicks to conquer Rounre's leadership. Pereira raised the pace in the third round and fought very effectively behind his thrust. This push opened several nasty cuts around Rounre's eye and on the back of the nose. These blows injured Rountree, and when Pereira faded, he looked for it with precision and diveries and forced the referee Marc Goddard to stop the fight in the fourth round. Goddard could have stopped so much earlier.

Pereira was in the race for the fighter of the year for 2024.

Magomed Ankalaev (19-1-1-1) has been a member of the UFC squad since 2018. Ankalaev lost his UFC debut when Paul Craig submitted him to the third round at 4:59 a.m. Since then, Ankalaev has gone 13 fights without loss.

Ankalaev secured a title fight in December 2022 when he faces the former UFC champion Jan Blachowicz because of the crown difficult heavy heavy weight crown. However, this competition ended with a divided draw, and neither the man who impressed the matchmaker in this matchup decided the UFC not to give a man a second to earn the belt.

Since then, Ankalaev has been 2-0-0-1 with a No Contest (illegal knee) against Johnny Walker and finally a decision victory against Aleksandar Rakic ​​at UFC 308.

When the UFC decided to give the UFC champion in the heavyweight Alex Pereira a fight against Khalil Rountree at UFC 307 and to avoid Ankalaev, he felt motivated by the promotion, but also.

“Now everyone knows that I am not fighting for the title and will fight Rakic ​​in Abu Dhabi. Whoever (UFC -Matchmaker) Mick Maynard gives me, I will smash your face so that you can no longer deny me if I make my job impressive. I'm sorry that everyone who will fight me from now on will fight me, ”said Ankalaev at the time.

Not long after that Ankalaev said Pereira ran in front of him.

UFC 313 Co-Main event: Justin Gaethje vs. Rafael Fiziev

When Justin Gaethje (25-5) had joined the UFC 2017, he had a perfect record of 17: 0. Before this signing, Gaethje won the World Series of Fighting Lightweight title and defended the belt five times. All six of his titles fight under the WSOF banner from Knockout.

Gaethje's first fight with the UFC took place in July 2017 when he met Michael Johnson in the main event of the Ultimate Fighter 25 final card. The expectations were high for this matchup, and Gaethje delivered and won a TKO victory in the second round against Johnson and achieved “Fight of the Night” and “Performance of the Night” bonus for a competition, in which several surveys “Fight of the Year” were won for 2017.

Since then, Gaethje has been involved in every UFC fight with anticipation, since he has one of the most fan-friendly styles in the history of not only the UFC, but in all of MMA. Gaethje could not win every time he enters the octagon, but he is a fighter who always wants to get a stop win and entertain the fans. His 12 fighting bonus prices in 12 UFC excursions can testify.

In May 2020, Gaethje won the preliminary UFC control crown with a knockout victory against Tony Ferguson. However, he could not unite the belts and lost to the then champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in October this year. Gaethje also came in his second attempt to win the UFC 155 pound belt, and let Charles Oliveira handle a submission to the free title in May 2022.

Gaethje recovered from this loss with his majority decision victory over Fiziev at UFC 286. A struggle that brought both men “fight of the night”. Geathje's latest victory was his bonus excursion from “Performance of the Night” against Poirier.

Gaethje has 20 career -Knockout victories, one submission victory, and he was on the right side of four decisions. The career losses of the BMF champions came through Knockout (three) and the submission (two).

In 2024 he had a candidate of the year for 2024, his UFC 300 KO defeat against Max Holloway. Gaethje is the No. 3 fighter in the official UFC lightweight ranking.

Rafael Fiziev (12-3) joined the UFC in 2019. At the time he had a 6-0 record with six stops (five knockouts and one submission), with everyone ending up to one of these fights in the first round. Fiziev's UFC debut ended 86 seconds in the first round when he fell a kick -back kick.

Fiziev resigned from his first loss of career by making an unbeaten series with six fights. During this run he got into the ranking list that started with a decision victory against Alex White and ended with a knockout victory in July 2022 against the former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. Fiziev won five bonuses during this route.

With his impressive run, Fiziev won the number 6 in the official UFC ranking. His reward was a Matchup against Gaethje in the Co -Main event of UFC 286.

That evening, the two drove in London in London for three laps in front of an appreciative crowd in London. In the end, Gaethje achieved the majority decision victory. On his next excursion, Fiziev looked at Mateusz Gamrot in a UFC Fight Night event. This competition ended abruptly in the second round when Gamrot achieved a TKO victory after Fiziev planted his leg to throw a kick and fell on the screen.

Fiziev has not fought his ACL since his competition, although he was clarified for measures in September 2024. Despite its inactivity, Fiziev is the fighter No. 11 in the official UFC lightweight ranking.
