UFC 313 will answer the question of whether Magomed Ankalaev can defeat Alex Pereira. The UFC 313 preview video emphasizes the fight between “a different kind of beast” and “a smashing force.”

Narrated by Ron Perlman, the video explores the anticipated fight. It could solidify Pereira as a top light heavyweight champion with four title defenses, or Ankalaev could defeat one of the UFC’s most popular fighters.

The video, shared by UFC CEO Dana White, also looks at the co-main event between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev. This lightweight fight, happening because Dan Hooker was injured, is called “a rematch of epic proportions.”

The UFC 313 main card also includes four lightweight fights: King Green vs. Mauricio Ruffy, Jalin Turner vs. Ignacio Bahamondes, and a strawweight fight between Amanda Lemos and Iasmin Lucindo.
