The long-awaited showdown between UFC Light Heavyweight king Alex “Poatan” Pereira and former title challenger Magomed Ankalaev is finally upon us. The two-weight Brazilian champion is riding high on a 5-fight winning streak, and will be looking to build on a stellar 2024 campaign with his first title defense of the year.
In the co-main event, Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev will square off in a rematch after the Azerbaijani fighter stepped in on short notice to replace the injured Dan Hooker.
