The highly anticipated UFC 313 light-heavyweight title clash between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev is just around the corner, and fans are buzzing with excitement. Pereira, the reigning champion, is gearing up to defend his title against Ankalaev in the main event in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Pereira, also known as ‘Poatan’, is no stranger to defending his title, having successfully faced tough opponents like Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka, and Khalil Rountree Jr. On the other hand, Ankalaev earned his shot at the title after a convincing victory over Aleksandar Rakic in Abu Dhabi last October.
In terms of earnings, Pereira is set to be the highest-paid fighter on the card, with a guaranteed purse of $1 million. Depending on the pay-per-view sales of UFC 313, Pereira could potentially earn up to $3.5 million, showcasing his star power and drawing potential.
Ankalaev, on the other hand, is looking at a purse of $750,000 for his second UFC title fight. The stakes are high for both fighters, as a win for Pereira could potentially catapult him to the number one spot in the UFC pound-for-pound rankings, surpassing the likes of Jon Jones and Islam Makhachev.
With Dana White expressing confidence in Pereira’s abilities and acknowledging the tough challenge Ankalaev poses, the stage is set for an epic showdown at UFC 313. Will Pereira emerge victorious and solidify his position as one of the best fighters in the world? Only time will tell.
