Alex Pereira Delivers Stunning 80-Second KO to Reclaim UFC Light Heavyweight Title at UFC 320
Alex “Poatan” Pereira delivered a stunning performance at UFC 320 on Saturday, knocking out Magomed Ankalaev in a mere 80 seconds to reclaim the UFC light heavyweight championship. The spectacular victory, which ignited a wild scene at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, served as sweet revenge for Pereira after enduring months of taunts following his decision loss to Ankalaev at UFC 313 in March.
Pereira’s dominant win not only cemented his status as a three-time UFC champion and two-division titleholder – a remarkable feat achieved in just 12 UFC bouts since 2021 – but also provided a moment of redemption. The 38-year-old had previously attributed his lackluster performance in their first encounter to a broken hand and norovirus.
The night also saw an emotional tribute from Pereira, who called for a moment of silence to honor Arthur Jones, the older brother of UFC legend Jon Jones, who tragically passed away on Friday. Jon Jones expressed his gratitude for the gesture, adding another layer of significance to an unforgettable night in MMA history.
