The men’s light-heavyweight title is on the line once again in a rematch of their showdown at UFC 313 back in March, when Russian Ankalaev – no7 on the UFC’s current pound-for-pound list – won by unanimous decision in an upset after five rounds to claim the belt in the 205-pound division.
That brought to an end the year-and-a-half title reign of Brazilian superstar Pereira, the former middleweight king who had been undefeated since moving up and provided three successful defences of the gold he had won against Jiri Prochazka in November 2023 to become a two-weight champion.
Saturday night’s card also sees the fearsome Merab Dvalishvili defend his UFC men’s bantamweight title for the third time against the no4-ranked Cory Sandhagen.
Prochazka takes on Khalil Rountree Jr in another high-profile bout at light-heavyweight, with Josh Emmett battling Youssef Zalal at featherweight and Abus Magomedov meeting Joe Pyfer in a middleweight showdown.
UFC 320 takes place on Saturday October 4, 2025 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
