UFC 320 has arrived at the T-Mobile Arena with a massive night of action including a world title double header.
Alex Pereira gets his chance to reclaim the light-heavyweight title from Magomed Ankalaev after losing the belt earlier this year at UFC 313. He will need a much improved outing this time around in order to get the belt back after a five round demolition last time out.
Then in the co-main event, Merab Dvalishvili defends his bantamweight belt against the exciting fan favorite Cory Sandhagen. There will be pandemonium in Sin City if Sandhagen can dethrone the Georgian, but it would be a massive upset.
Then we’ve got a packed undercard including Khalil Rountree Jr vs Jiri Prochazka in a massive light-heavyweight showdown at the top of the division. Joe Pyfer is also back against Abus Magomedov in an intriguing middleweight clash.
We will have all the live updates from Las Vegas right here on the Bloody Elbow live blog, why not get in touch on X or Facebook @BloodyElbow?
