UFC 320 marked the return of vintage Alex Pereira, as he demolished Magomed Ankalaev in just 80 seconds to reclaim the light heavyweight title. The Brazilian started fast, punishing Ankalaev’s legs with brutal low kicks before dropping him with a looping right hand. A barrage of hammer fists and 12-6 elbows sealed the deal, making Pereira a UFC champion for the third time in his career. Following the win, plenty of dream matchups are already being discussed for Pereira. Among them is reigning middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev, who congratulated Pereira and reignited his callout.

Khamzat Chimaev Is Ready to Challenge Alex Pereira at 265lbs Despite Being a Middleweight

Chimaev, who recently captured the 185-pound title at UFC 319 by dominating Dricus Du Plessis, took to X and wrote: “@AlexPereiraUFC Congrats, now we need to finish our business.”

But at the UFC 320 post-fight press conference, Pereira shut down the idea of facing Chimaev. Instead, he revealed his eyes are set on something bigger. “Thanks for congratulating me, but all I want is a super fight. I wanna fight at heavyweight, but all I can say is thank you.”
