UFC 320 goes down Oct. 4 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a pair of title fights and a banger of a light-heavyweight bout.
Dana White made the announcement on social media on Tuesday evening.
Headlining UFC 320 will be the light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev who has not lost in 7 years in a rematch against the former 205 king Alex Pereira. The two squared up at UFC 313 in March. Ankalaev dethroned ‘Poatan’ via decision and right away announced he’d be willing to give Pereira a rematch right away.
Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili will face Cory Sandhagen in the co-main event that night coming off his title defense over Sean O’Malley at UFC 316 in June.
Sandhagen is coming off a headline victory in Iowa over former flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo.
Light heavyweights Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree get a spot on the main card in a battle of 205 heavy-hitters. Prochazka makes his return to the octagon following a TKO victory over Jamahal Hill at UFC 311 in January.
Rountree got back into the win column with a decision victory over Jamahal Hill at UFC Baku in June. ‘The War Horse’ previously lost to Alex Pereira in his first title challenge at UFC 307.
October in Las Vegas is looking like a banger for combat sports.
