UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira is putting his title on the line against challenger Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313, with a charity bet worth $200,000 hanging in the balance. The winner will donate the sum to a chosen charity.
Pereira made the challenge, which includes the loser’s charity choice, after expressing confidence in his abilities. Ankalaev, who plans to fight while fasting during Ramadan, has yet to respond to the offer.
The high-stakes showdown takes place on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with fans eagerly anticipating the event. The card will be available on ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, and ESPN+.
