Former half -life champion again restored the throne. Alex Pereira It took less than 90 seconds on Saturday evening to stun Magomed Ankalaev And return the belt that he lost to Ankalaev on the UFC 313 in March.
In the equally masterful, albeit much more elongated appearance in competitions from the outside, MIRAB DVALISHVILI He proved again why he was nicknamed the “car.” Dvalishvili earned his third male defense of the title as part of a unanimous victory Corey SandhagenThe champion’s field successfully shot down Sandhagen 20 times and seemed impossible by the end of the glove of five rounds. Is it possible that Dvalishvili is the best fighter from a pound for a pound in the world right now?
Brett Okamoto and Jeff Wagenheim give their conclusions from these title fights, as well as vintage knockout from JIXY PROCHAZKA on Khalil Rountee Jr.
The revenge of Pereweira leaves fans and contemporaries delight
“The Avenger is never a good thing,” said Pereira with a stone face after the Saturday of the main event of the UFC 320, speaking through a translator with a half-waist belt, again wrapped around his waist. “Sometimes this is a kind of poison.”
Ankalaev may agree with this feeling after Pereira quickly and forcibly overestimated in the revenge of their March fight, in which the Russian took the title. But the roaring fans on T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and, undoubtedly, many people look at home that the revenge was an inspiring sight to observe the unfolding.
It was heartbreaking. It was scary. It was wildly impressive. And he will live in the memoirs of everyone who witnessed this.
Pereira has already earned its place as a star and legends in the process. The 80-second demolition of this night added another main point to its amazing heritage. How many more wonderful points can he give fans?
Pereira 38 years. He does not have time to waste, and he clarified this from the moment the battle began, breaking through the cage and opening a large blow in just a few seconds. This did not connect, but he remained on an insult and is connected with a sledgehammer in his right hand in less than a minute, hesitating Ankalev, who answered from a desperate attempt by such. Pereira defended him, ended up at the top and continued to drop more than two dozen blows unanswered and elbows until Judge Herb Dean graciously jumped up.
The Eliting finish left one of the past conquests of Pereira, the former champion, so impressive that he was next to tears behind the scenes. Another best rival 205 pounds, Carlos Ulberggave proper respect to Retrir too. These elite heavyweights could not help but be surprised at the owner of the title in his unit.
In the end, however, it was a pereper that showed respect in the most pleasant way. During his interview after the battle, he paused to ask for a moment of silence in the arena for Arthur Jones family, who died this weekThe field of the former NFL player is the eldest brother of the greatest mild fun of MMA, John JonesThis is the field suggests that Pereira says that at his moment the triumph, he took time from his celebration to offer comfort to the legend with a combat struggle.
Wow, Alex 🙏🏾

The only point in Pereira really wanted the world to hear before leaving the cage, a fighter who lost to Ankalaev seven months ago was a compromised version. Pereira said on the eve of the Match-Rarens that he was dealing with injuries of arms and legs in the first battle. “I told everyone that I was not in good condition last time; No one believed in it, ”said Pereira. “You saw this.”
Yes, we did. And it sent chills. – Wagenheim

Mirab Dvalishvili defeats Corey Sandhagen to keep the title in weight
Merab Dvalishvili wins a unanimous solution over Corey Sandhagen to maintain his UFC Bantamweight championship.
Islam Makhachev It will not be happy with me for this – and he will have the opportunity to promote the narrative next month, when he goes to weight to fight the welterweight champion Maddalena Jack There are two considerations for the UFC 322-but for the best fighter per pound for a pound in the world: Ulli Topuria And Dvalishvili. Topuria, champion with lightweight, still No. 1 with me from his ability to remove people, but it is difficult to remember something like what Dvalishvili does.
Several characteristics for you from his struggle with Sandhagen: 20 out of 37 on attempts at a blow, 385 attempts to strike and the first UFC fighter with 100 career teadows (in total 117). Sandhagen was so ready for this opportunity. He was sure that he believed in his game plan and his ability to fulfill – and Dasvalishvili ran out of the arena, smiling, as he did. In his fourth titular battle for 13 months. All hyperboles in the world are not enough to describe it. It feels like he is gaining steam. He is not completely defeated in these title battles. There was no stress for him. This is incredible.
Makhachev is a generation fighter and is possibly close to surpass the legacy of his mentor and retired team, Khabib NurmagomedovField and now I say that there is Two fighters are better than him in the worldThe field of MMA sport sees three talents for all the time in Topuria, Dvalishvili and Makhachev. Dvalishvili is not officially for me for an ax, but this is not so much. – Okamoto
Procházka peak can still be an UFC champion
There are still questions about the faster! Yes, he lost twice before Pereyra, and when the fighter loses two title fights of the same enemy, this can lead to a long path to the battle of the championship and, frankly, losses of faith from the base of fans. This did not help that the crawl lost these two title battles before Peresha for seven months.
But what could be easily forgotten: for the first time, when the crew lost to Pereira, he returned from a 17-month dismissal and a serious shoulder injury. The second time they fought, they agreed to rise and catch the UFC 303 a few weeks after notification after Conor McGregor He pulled his leg from a broken finger. I’m not saying anything from this to take away from Pereira, but both of these losses were included for shaveles that did not have less ideal circumstances. It is also his only two losses in the past 10 years.
Obviously, a cracker cannot say that he is the best heavyweight in the world in the world, because he had lost to Pereira twice, and he never fought with Ankalaev. But this can literally take place. And he can still prove it. – Okamoto
