UFC 313 got some heavy hitters.
The promotion announced last week the main and co-main event for their 313th pay-per-view event, which takes place March 8 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+). Headlining the card, UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira defends his belt against the man many see as the biggest threat to his belt, Magomed Ankalaev. And in the co-main, fan-favorite fighters Justin Gaethje and Dan Hooker clash in a five-round lightweight scrap.
How good are these bookings? Were these the right fights to make? Who will come out on top?
