Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev are focused as they approach UFC 313.
Pereira successfully weighed in at 205 pounds for his fourth light heavyweight title defense in Saturday’s main event. Ankalaev also weighed 205 pounds, confirming their championship fight.
Pereira is currently ranked No. 2 in MMA pound-for-pound rankings, and Ankalaev aims to take down one of UFC’s top fighters when they compete at T-Mobile Arena.
In the lightweight co-main event, Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev also made weight for their rematch, both at 156 pounds. They previously fought at UFC 286 in March 2023, where Gaethje won by majority decision.
Gaethje was originally set to fight Dan Hooker, but Fiziev replaced Hooker due to a hand injury just 10 days before the event.
All 24 fighters competing on Saturday successfully made weight.
