Former interim UFC champion Poirier: “Pereira will defeat Ankalaev by knockout in the middle of the fight”
Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier gave a forecast for a rematch between Russian Magomed Ankalaev and Brazilian Alex Pereira.
The title rematch between Ankalaev and Pereira will headline the UFC 320 tournament in Las Vegas (USA), which will take place on October 4. The first fight between the fighters took place in March at UFC 313. Ankalaev won by unanimous decision and became the organization’s champion in the light heavyweight category.
“I think Alex is comfortable being the underdog in any fight because this guy can turn the tide of the fight at any moment. I truly believe Alex will win. He already fought Ankalaev, he wants to regain his title and wants to win. He wants to show that in the last fight everything did not go the way it should go. “I think Pereira will win by pure knockout or technical knockout in the middle of the fight,” MMA Junkie quotes Poirier as saying.
The 33-year-old Ankalaev has 20 wins, one loss and one draw in MMA. Pereira, 38, has 12 wins and three losses in his professional career.

CHISORA: “What kind of courage are we talking about? This boxer did not go to fight for his country.”
British heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora He spoke harshly about Jake Paul’s courage following his fight with Anthony Joshua. In a debate with heavyweight Vidall Riley, Chisora challenged Paul’s argument that he showed courage by entering the ring.
“What Paul did was not brave. He did not go to fight for his country. When he went to defend his state at the front, that is courage.”
What kind of courage is Paul talking about? He ran away in the first round and when he didn’t have enough strength to run, Joshua broke his jaw,” Chisora said.
A big boxing show took place in Miami, USA, on the night of December 19-20, 2025. In the main fight, American entertainer Jake Paul and former world champion Anthony Joshua entered the ring. The fight ended in the sixth round – AJ brutally knocked out his opponent.

Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usik said that he invested the money he earned from sports into business life.
“I have a small business right now. I have a company called Ready2Fight that doesn’t just work with boxing. What do we do? As promoters, we can guide the athlete – legal decisions, managerial decisions. Find trainers, doctors. So create a team. We also do things for sports and equipment.”
“We do some construction. I invest a little in hot construction. There is a glass processing plant. And of course, some valuable papers, special cars. I am a little more interested in the business world than, say, five years ago.”
“Because I understand that I earn money and they also have to work, they just buy themselves some diamonds, gold or something and get high. I’m not that kind of person, I don’t really like to show off,” Usik said.
