UFC 320 takeaways: Pereira, Merab among the best fighters in the world
"In an equally masterful -- albeit much more drawn out -- appearance in the co-main event, Merab Dvalishvili again proved why he's nicknamed "The Machine." Dvalishvili earned his third men's bantamweight title defense in a unanimous decision victory over Cory Sandhagen. The champion successfully took down Sandhagen 20 times and appeared unfazed by the end of the five-round gauntlet. Is it possible that Dvalishvili is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world right now?"
""Vengeance is never a good thing," a stonefaced Pereira said after Saturday's UFC 320 main event, speaking through an interpreter with the light heavyweight belt once again wrapped around his waist. "It's kind of a poison sometimes." Ankalaev might agree with that sentiment after being quickly and violently dethroned by Pereira in a rematch of their March bout, in which the Russian had taken away the title."
Alex Pereira regained the UFC light heavyweight title by overwhelming Magomed Ankalaev in less than 90 seconds, reclaiming the belt he lost at UFC 313 in March. Merab Dvalishvili delivered a measured, relentless co-main performance, earning a unanimous decision and his third men's bantamweight title defense after taking down Cory Sandhagen 20 times and enduring five rounds without showing fatigue. The card also featured a vintage knockout from Jiří Procházka over Khalil Rountree Jr. Pereira described vengeance as "kind of a poison sometimes" after the rematch outcome.
