UFC time plan, fighting cards, start times, chances of watching UFC 313: Alex Pereira against Magomed Ankalaev

Only a few fights offer a contrast like the main event on Saturday between the master of light heavy weight Alex Pereira (12-2, 12 Kos) and Magomed Ankalaev (19-1, 10 Kos) at UFC 313 in Las Vegas.

Pereira, the ruthless Knockout artist with a few kickboxing -pedigree Canit, competes against Ankalaev, a suffocating Dagestani power package, the wrestling and beating precisely mixes. It is a classic matchup, but with enough danger in every phase to make it unpredictable. Will the power of “Poatan” be the big balance or will Ankalaev's grinding style wear out the Brazilian champion?

Fireworks await you in the co-main event when light bomber Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev meet a second time after their exciting fight at UFC 286. Gaethje came out with a close decision with a close majority, although since July 2022 he has become an easy favorite.
