The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has announced its fall schedule, featuring three title fights in October. The upcoming events include Alex Pereira’s title fight against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320 on October 4 in Las Vegas, Merab Dvalishvili’s bantamweight title defense against Cory Sandhagen at UFC 320, and Tom Aspinall’s undisputed heavyweight title defense against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 on October 25 in Abu Dhabi.
UFC president confirmed the schedule, which includes three big fights. The first fight is Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight championship, while Merab Dvalishvili will face Cory Sandhagen to defend his bantamweight title.
Pereira is attempting to reclaim the title after a loss in 2024, and this rematch against Ankalaev could be crucial in determining who’s the best fighter at light heavyweight. The fight between Pereira and Ankalaev was intense with both fighters trading strikes, but Ankalaev emerged victorious by decision.
Dvalishvili will look to extend his title defense streak as he faces Sandhagen for the third time in 10 months. Dvalishvili is known for his BMF-type behavior, having completed five-round title defenses against top opponents without issues.
In a high-profile heavyweight matchup, Tom Aspinall looks to solidify his position as champion after a 15-month layoff. He faces Ciryl Gane, who has been looking to dethrone the current champion and claims he is more technical in kickboxing.
For fans of boxing, it’s time to look at what’s next for each fighter.
