The main event features Alex Pereira defending his UFC Light Heavyweight Championship against dangerous Dagestani challenger Magomed Ankalaev. Pereira has been unstoppable, but Ankalaev is riding a long unbeaten streak and is considered one of the most well-rounded light heavyweights in the world.

Gaethje vs. Fiziev – An Explosive Rematch

The co-main event sees Justin Gaethje return to the Octagon for the first time since his brutal loss to Max Holloway at UFC 300. Originally scheduled to fight Dan Hooker, Gaethje now faces Rafael Fiziev, stepping in on short notice.

Can Pereira Defend His Title Again?

UFC 313 marks Alex Pereira’s fourth title defense since capturing the belt at UFC 295 against Jiri Prochazka. Since then, Pereira has taken on all challengers and remained dominant:

UFC 300: Knockout victory over Jamahal Hill
UFC 303: Stopped Jiri Prochazka in their rematch
UFC 307: Defeated Khalil Rountree in a hard-fought war

Now, he faces Magomed Ankalaev, who is undefeated in his last 13 fights and one of the most technical fighters in the division. Will Pereira’s striking be enough, or will Ankalaev’s well-rounded skill set prove too much?

Who Do You Think Will Win?

With two high-stakes fights headlining a stacked card, UFC 313 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events of the year.

Will Alex Pereira continue his reign as champion? Can Justin Gaethje bounce back after his last defeat?
