Alex Pereira has recaptured the UFC light-heavyweight title in dominant fashion, stopping Magomed Ankalaev inside 90 seconds on Sunday afternoon (AEDT).
The former two-division champion lost the gold earlier this year against Ankalaev but wasted little time erasing that and proving once again why he is an all-time great.
Pereira shot out of the gates and piled on the pressure from the opening ball and never looked back in front of a raucous crowd in Las Vegas. Advertisement

Less than a minute into the fight, Pereira launched a hellacious right hand that stunned Ankalaev and from there, it was only a matter of time.
"He hurt him bad," Daniel Cormier said on commentary.
