Alex Pereira returned to the Octagon last Saturday night at UFC 320 to avenge his UFC 313 loss to Magomed Ankalaev earlier this year. However, the fight didn’t last for very long, as ‘Poatan’ completely flipped the script. The Brazilian kickboxer hurt the Russian fighter with a thunderous right hand, forcing Ankalaev to shoot for a half-hearted takedown.
However, even that didn’t work for the 33-year-old, as Pereira stuffed the Russian’s takedown attempt, forcing him to the ground. ‘Poatan’ then unleashed a barrage of ground and pound that forced referee Herb Dean to stop the fight, handing Pereira the win. While the Brazilian won the fight, he could not win the numbers game against UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev .
