Pereira stated that he was effectively under 100% for that battle and would show it on Saturday. He did simply that in dropping Ankalaev early and forcing the TKO stoppage simply 80 seconds in.
Dvalishvili, in the meantime, blitzed via Sandhagen after a shaky opening spherical. The native of Georgia set a UFC document together with his 20 takedowns within the battle and 117 whole in his profession. He suffocated Sandhagen together with his relentless strain and wrestling to earn the unanimous determination win and choose up his thirteenth straight win.
Elsewhere on the cardboard, one other gentle heavyweight made an announcement as Jiri Prochazka scored a surprising knockout of Khalil Rountree Jr. within the third spherical of a battle he was dropping. As has turn out to be the case with each Prochazka battle, he is by no means out of it till the referee says so and he proved as soon as once more that he has fight-changing energy regardless of the state of affairs.
