UFC 320 Coming Up at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on October 4
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has another great card on the MMA horizon to kick off Fall with UFC 320: Ankalaev vs Pereira 2, set to take place on Saturday, October 4, from the T-Mobile Arena on The Strip in Paradise (Las Vegas), Nevada.
This will be a rematch of the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship on March 8, 2025, which saw Russian challenger Magomed Ankalaev beat Brazilian champion Alex Pereira by a Unanimous Decision in the Main Event from UFC 313, also held at T-Mobile Arena.
UFC 320 will serve up three fights on the Early Preliminary Card, three more in the Preliminary Card, with five bouts on the Main Card. With fight night quickly approaching, now is the time to get your UFC 320: Ankaleev vs Pereira 2 tickets here at TicketX!
Can Pereira get his belt back from Ankalaev in this much-anticipated UFC rematch? Like the first fight, which went the full 25 minutes, this one is a can’t-miss. With 16 fights in the octagon, a Sin City site, and this Ankalaev-Pereira rematch, UFC 320 should be exciting.
The Main Event will see the UFC Light Middleweight champion Ankalaev putting his championship belt on the line as the top two-ranked fighters in their weight class, and the No. 7- (Ankalaev) and No. 9-ranked (Pereira) UFC pound-for-pound fighters go toe-to-toe.

What’s on Tap For UFC in 2026?
Dana White has much planned for the 34th year in the history of the UFC, including a special UFC card to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, with an event scheduled to be held on the grounds of the White House in Washington, DC.
The proposed event would be the first professional sporting event ever staged at the presidential residence and would surely get maximum exposure. US President Donald Trump unveiled plans for the MMA event on July 3, 2025, at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
UFC CEO and Las Vegas product White confirmed that plans for the event had indeed been finalized via his social media, saying, “We had the meeting at the White House...The White House fight is on.”
UFC icon Conor McGregor has suggested that he will be fighting Michael Chandler on the South Lawn of the White House on July 4, 2026, but this event is still in the formative stages, and there have been no fights announced yet by White and the UFC.
