Main Event: Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev

Alex Pereira, the reigning light heavyweight champion, has been on an impressive run since capturing the title in 2023. Known for his striking prowess, Pereira has successfully defended his belt three times, with notable victories over Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka, and most recently, a TKO win against Khalil Rountree Jr. in October 2024.

Magomed Ankalaev enters this title bout with a remarkable 13-fight unbeaten streak. After a controversial split draw against Jan Blachowicz in a previous title attempt, Ankalaev rebounded with a knockout victory over Johnny Walker and a unanimous decision win against Aleksandar Rakic in October 2024.

In the lead-up to UFC 313, Pereira has added intrigue by issuing a $200,000 charity challenge to Ankalaev, reminiscent of Conor McGregor’s previous wager with Dustin Poirier. This bet proposes that the winner’s charity of choice receives the sum, adding an extra layer of stakes to the bout.

Co-Main Event: Justin Gaethje vs. Dan Hooker

The co-main event features a lightweight clash between former interim champion Justin Gaethje and New Zealand’s Dan Hooker. Gaethje, known for his aggressive fighting style, aims to rebound from a knockout loss to Max Holloway in April 2024, where he lost the ‘BMF’ title. Before that, Gaethje secured notable victories, including a knockout win over Dustin Poirier and a decision against Rafael Fiziev.

Dan Hooker comes into this fight riding a three-fight winning streak since moving back to the lightweight division in 2022. His recent performances include a TKO victory over Claudio Puelles and split-decision wins against Jalin Turner and Mateusz Gamrot.

This matchup promises fireworks, as both fighters are known for their striking abilities and willingness to engage in stand-up battles. Fans can anticipate a high-paced, action-packed fight that could significantly affect the lightweight division’s title picture.

UFC 313’s main and co-main events are poised to deliver thrilling action, with championship stakes and divisional rankings on the line. As fight night approaches, anticipation builds for what promises to be a memorable event in Las Vegas.
