UFC - English
On an unexpected night at UFC 313, Magomed Ankalaev dethroned Alex Pereira to claim the light heavyweight championship in Las Vegas. With a strategy based on constant harassment, he was able to neutralize the Brazilian and take control of the fight, winning by unanimous decision.
With a relentless strategy, Ankalaev managed to subdue Pereira and make the fight his own. In the end, with the belt in his hands and glory at his feet, the Dagestani warrior took advantage of the attention to taunt the Brazilian.
Diego Lopes Breaks Down Backstage After Heartbreaking UFC 314 Loss to Alexander Volkanovski
A possible rematch is in the hands of Dana White, who will have the final say on whether they will face each other again. Alex has insisted on it, and now it seems Ankalaev is not averse to the idea.
Magomed Ankalaev is ready for a possible rematch
The Dagestani used his social media to respond to the challenge that Pereira has been talking about a lot, and his response makes it very clear that he is ready.
“Alex, I’m ready to give you the rematch if you really want it,” Ankalaev wrote. “Just get ready for a storm in the next fight, the storm you never faced in this sport.”
For his part, Alex has not yet responded to the threats, but it seems that he will raise his hand and not hide.
Alex Pereira has everything to lose in a potential rematch
Many UFC experts are not in favor of a rematch. Chael Sonnen has criticized the idea, pointing out that Alex Pereira would be in a lose-lose situation.
Chael believes that Alex Pereira was not competitive in the first fight, something that leaves him marked going into a second fight.
“The first fight was 4-1,” Sonnen said. “It was four rounds to one. It really wasn’t very competitive.
And of course, it’s not just the experts; some fans and MMA cognoscenti think a rematch would be a bad idea because Pereira didn’t measure up in that first fight. He looked good avoiding takedowns, but his performance was inconsistent and the Brazilian surely knows he didn’t live up to expectations.
There is still no date set for the rematch, but we should definitely keep an eye out for any news. It seems like it’s only a matter of time before Ankalaev sends that message.

Ravens suffer ‘complete disappointment’ after 34-point loss, the second-worst defeat of John Harbaugh era
The Baltimore Ravens' 2025 season can summed up by what occurred after Jaylin Noel's touchdown on Sunday that stretched Houston Texans' lead to 31 points early in the fourth quarter. Noel celebrated his first career touchdown by mimicking Ray Lewis' patented squirrel dance. Noel's celebration was interrupted by Ravens cornerback Jaire Alexander, who tried to steal the ball away before shoving Noel. Alexander's act was symbolic of the pain a proud franchise is currently enduring. Baltimore, the heavy preseason favorite to repeat as AFC North champion, is now 1-4 through five games. Sunday's 44-10 loss was its worst defense since 2017 and is tied for the biggest defeat of the John Harbaugh era. "Just complete disappointment," Harbaugh said afterward. "We're gonna have to find a way to turn it around and figure out who we are this next week and into the bye and […]

However, there was a missed call in this game that made life tougher on the Vikings.In the fourth quarter, the Vikings trotted out Will Reichard to attempt a 51-yard field goal that would have tied the game at 17 apiece. The kick was wide right, and looked like it had some funky action on it. That's because the ball appeared to hit a camera wire.It went unnoticed at the time, but check out videos of the kick, here: If this was noticed by the officials, Reichard would have been given another chance to kick. Here's the language from the NFL rulebook, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk: "[I]f a loose ball in play […]
Same old Chargers? The one thing ruining Justin Herbert’s MVP case, L.A.’s hopes of deep playoff run
The Chargers' vanishing act came in a hurry Sunday against the Commanders. When the offense took the field for its opening drive of the second half, Los Angeles' 10-0 lead had become a 17-10 deficit in 10 minutes of game time.The offensive line would be the next thing to go up in smoke. On first and 10, an unblocked Jordan Magee came flying in on a blitz, and Justin Herbert quite literally disappeared under a sea of white uniforms and burgundy helmets. It officially went down as a sack by Johnny Newton, but any of the four Commanders creating a Herbert sandwich could have been credited.No matter. Herbert has bailed the Chargers out plenty of times before, and it looked like he would again, firing a dart to Quentin Johnston for 23 yards. The only problem? Right tackle Trey Pipkins was […]
