A UFC title is on the line tonight.

Big UFC events like this only happen occasionally, and they feature main event-level matchups throughout the entire evening’s fight card. Tonight, though, there is only one title fight, where Alex Pereira will make his first octagon appearance of 2025 and defend his light heavyweight title against Magomed Ankalaev.

Pereira won his last four fights by knockout, and tonight, he’ll go up against Ankalaev, who has an undefeated streak dating back to September 2018 (13 fights).
