Alex Pereira became a two-time light heavyweight champion by defeating Magomed Ankalaev via first-round TKO in the main event of UFC 320 on Saturday. As soon as the fight started, Pereira swarmed Ankalaev, backing him up to the fence. Pereira, who is known for his knockout power, stunned Akalaev with a monstrous right hand, forcing Akalaev to shoot for a takedown. Pereira then unleashed a barrage of hammerfists, forcing the referee to step in and stop the fight. In 80 seconds of action, Pereira landed 28 significant strikes. In the post-fight interview, Pereira expressed interest in moving up a weight class.--Alen Kurbasic
