High-Stakes Rematch Headlines Card

Ankalaev (20-1-1, 1 NC), fighting out of Makhachkala, Russia, claimed the 205-pound crown by defeating Pereira earlier this year and will now look to solidify his reign in their second meeting. The Russian champion has compiled a resume of impressive wins, including victories over Aleksandar Rakić, Johnny Walker, and Anthony Smith.

Pereira (12-3), who trains out of Danbury, Connecticut, by way of São Paulo, Brazil, is aiming for redemption. A former two-division UFC titleholder, he has made headlines with knockouts over Israel Adesanya, Jiří Procházka, and Jamahal Hill since his Octagon debut in 2021.

Bantamweight Title Fight Co-Main Event

In the co-main event, bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili defends his title against No. 4 contender Cory Sandhagen. Dvalishvili (20-4), currently on a 12-fight win streak and ranked No. 3 in the UFC men’s pound-for-pound rankings, has recently defeated top names including Sean O’Malley (twice), Umar Nurmagomedov, and Henry Cejudo.

Sandhagen (18-5), of Aurora, Colorado, has earned his shot at the belt with wins over Deiveson Figueiredo, Rob Font, and Marlon Vera.
