UFC 320 Fight Card: When UFC rolls into Las Vegas on October 4, 2025, the spotlight will be fixed on UFC 320 at the T-Mobile Arena. At its heart: the rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira—a fight with a story, a grudge, and championship gold on the line.
This isn’t just another headliner. Ankalaev took the belt earlier this year by defeating Pereira at UFC 313 via unanimous decision. Now, “Poatan” (Pereira’s nickname) will attempt to reclaim what he lost.
What’s at Stake – Two Titles, Many Paths:
This card doesn’t rest on one fight. It’s a championship doubleheader—two belts to be defended, stories to unfold.
-
Light Heavyweight Title: Ankalaev vs. Pereira 2 is, of course, the main event. Ankalaev will lean on his grappling and control; Pereira will lean on his power, striking, and redemption arc.
-
Bantamweight Title: The co-main event features Merab Dvalishvili defending his crown against Cory Sandhagen. Dvalishvili has carved an icy trail through the division. Sandhagen is known for technical movement and finishing instincts. That contrast makes this match-up compelling.
Beyond the belts, there’s a third fight that might carry title implications in the light heavyweight division: Jiří Prochazka vs Khalil Rountree Jr. Two top-five names, both hungry.

Storylines to Watch & Predictions:
Weight War for Pereira
One subplot already emerging: Pereira’s weight cut. Two weeks out, he reportedly weighed ~106.2 kg (about 234 lbs), meaning he faces a brutal drop to make 205 lbs. How that cut affects his power, cardio, and durability will be a key question.
Can Dvalishvili Continue His Reign?
He’s methodical, relentless, and hard to stop. But Sandhagen is no slouch—dynamic, fast, and crafty. It’s a compelling contrast of styles.
Prochazka’s Return
He’s coming off losses to Pereira, already on the tail of title contention. A win over Rountree Jr. could vault him back into the title picture—especially if Pereira beats Ankalaev. It’s a domino effect.
Depth and surprises
The undercards are stacked. Look for breakout performances (or upset alerts) to feed the chatter. For fans, that’s often where you spot stars in the making.
When & How to Watch:
-
The main card airs at 10:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+ PPV.

UFC 320 is shaping up as an emotional, high-stakes night. A rematch with title implications, a co-main that delivers, and a loaded undercard make this one of the more complete cards in recent memory.
Will Ankalaev solidify his reign? Can Pereira reclaim lost glory? Can Dvalishvili stay on top? Or will a surprise emerge from the undercard to steal the spotlight?
Whatever happens, tonight’s fight fans will be marking punches, tracking takedowns, and holding their breath. This is what we live for: moments that define legacies, one round at a time.
