Hello everyone and welcome to 411mania’s LIVE coverage of UFC 320, I’m Robert Winfree and I’ll be your host for the event. We’ve got a PPV with a couple of title fights and a couple of relevant fights on the main card, and while my personal excitement level for them is a tad muted, this is the kind of general effort being put into an event that I’m happy to see. In the main event we’ve got a rematch for the light heavyweight title as newly minted champion Magomed Ankalaev tries for his first defense against the man he beat to win the belt, Alex Pereira. Pereira might be heading towards heavyweight one way or the other but multiple time champions are something of a rarity in the UFC and if he can reclaim the gold it will be a nice addition to his resume. In the co-main event bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili is after his third title defense when he battles Cory Sandhagen, Dvalishvili is looking to enter some truly rarified air given his 13 fight winning streak which currently ties him with the likes of Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Max Holloway, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Demetrious Johnson. Sandhagen has been pretty well thought of for a while but his back is against the wall here as a loss would pretty firmly cement his ceiling. We’ve also got a pretty much guaranteed fun fight between former champion Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree, plus Youssef Zalal taking on Josh Emmett. On the prelims Ateba Gautier is going to kill a late replacement opponent, Patchy Mix is trying to overcome a truly dreadful first UFC fight, and Edmen Shahbazyan is looking to continue his career renaissance going. As for the early prelims, Chris Gutierrez and Farid Basharat stands out to be sure. So all in all we’ve got a fairly strong card on paper, now let’s hope it holds up in practice.

UFC 320 comes to the world from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. We’ve got the usual stateside PPV trio of Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier on commentary. Not exactly my favorite trio personally. Nevada does use the newer rules so keep that in mind and we will be in the larger 30 foot cage set up.

Veronica Hardy just had a three fight winning streak broken by Eduarda Moura, she’s trying to bounce back and avoid her first losing streak since 2019. Brogan Walker has been out of action since April of 2023 and has gone 0-2 in the UFC as well, she really needs to find that first UFC win here. Hardy is a heavy favorite at -770 to Walker’s +540.

Women’s Flyweight Bout: Veronica Hardy (9-5-1, 124.5 lbs.) vs. Brogan Walker (7-4, 125.5 lbs.)

Ramiz Brahimaj has gone 4-3 in the UFC but he is on a two fight winning streak and if he can get to three in a row here he might get a step up in class for his next fight. Austin Vanderford is on a two fight winning streak including a successful UFC debut back in February, he’s trying to extend that success here and prove he’s the one ready to make waves in the UFC. The odds are with Vanderford at -295 against a +240 Brahimaj comeback.

Farid Basharat is undefeated including four UFC wins but he’s been out of action for almost a year after a win over Victor Hugo, he’s looking to remain perfect and begin making the transition from prospect to contender. Chris Gutierrez has gone 3-2 in his last five fights and is on a two fight winning streak, he’s trying to slow the momentum that Basharat has and prove he’s still got upward mobility in the division. It’s not surprising to see Basharat as a rather large favorite at -500 but that +385 comeback on Gutierrez might tempt a few bettors out there.

Macy Chiasson missed weight for this fight, her second time doing so in the UFC and she’s coming off of a loss to Ketlen Vieiera. Chaisson is trying to avoid her first losing streak and defend her ranking, plus a win might help smoother over that weight issue as it happening more than once means it could turn into a real problem. Yana Santos is on a two fight winning streak and most recently got a fairly high profile win when she bested Miesha Tate, she’s looking to move up the ranks with another win here and prove she’s ready to make a real move towards the top of the division. Fairly close here, -195 on Chiasson despite the weight miss while that +165 on Santos is looking quite tempting.

Patchy Mix is coming off of a loss and a pretty dreadful performance in his UFC debut when he was beaten everywhere by Mario Bautista, he’s trying to rebound here and show off more of the skills that saw him tear through Bellator and PFL events that led to him getting to the UFC. Jakub Wiklacz is a former KSW champion and brings a seven fight unbeaten streak into his UFC debut, KSW champs have a decent history of success in the UFC and he’ll be trying to add to that legacy. Despite the poor debut Mix is still the favorite at -320 while that +260 comeback on Wiklacz might tempt some bettors out there.

Well that’s it for preliminary action, on to PPV for the main card.

Joe Pyfer is on a two fight winning streak but he’s still kind of struggling to regain momentum since his loss to Jack Hermansson, though if he can get to three wins in a row here and against a ranked opponent it would put his career in a good position. Abus Magomedov is on a three fight winning streak and has cracked the top rankings with it, now he’s trying to defend it and earn a shot at someone ranked above him for his next fight. The odds like Pyfer at -250 to +205 for Magomedov.

Middleweight Bout: #14 Abus Magomedov (28-5-1, 185.5 lbs.) vs. Joe Pyfer (14-3, 186 lbs.)

ROUND ONE: These two are the same height but Magomedov has three inches of reach advantage. They touch gloves to get things started. Some feinting from both men, they’re just getting a feel for things. Pyfer thinks about a takedown, that just turns into a clinch on the fence.

Butterfly guard for Pyfer now, then full guard and he tries a triangle but Magomedov defends and lands a hammer fist. Pyfer stands, Magomedov jumps for the backpack then hits a mat return into north-south. Kimura attack from Magomedov, he goes into a head scissors choke but bails on that to keep side control. A few knees to the body from Magomedov. Pyfer hip escapes towards full guard, the moves to his knees and wrestles up while Magomedov holds a front headlock.

OFFICIAL RESULT: †WINNER – Joe Pyfer via Submission, rear naked choke, at 1:44 of Round 2

Mic time for Pyfer, he says he felt flat physically tonight and adjusted so he admits to getting beat up the first round but he knew Magomedov would gas out and he’d take over. He puts over his team then expresses love for America and wants a post fight bonus.

Josh Emmett has gone just 1-3 in his last four fights, though one of those losses was to Ilia Topuria and most recently he lost to Lerone Murphy so it’s not like he’s been fighting poor competition. Still he’s trying to avoid another losing streak and defend his ranking despite his age starting to climb north of 40. Youssef Zalal is on a seven fight winning streak including being 4-0 since returning to the UFC last year, a win here would be the biggest of his career and would move him pretty close to the title picture. Zalal is a pretty large favorite at -490 to a +380 payout on Emmett.

Featherweight Bout: #8 Josh Emmett (19-5, 146 lbs.) vs. #9 Youssef Zalal (17-5-1, 146 lbs.)

ROUND ONE: Zalal is three and a half inches taller with two inches of reach advantage, he’s also 11 years older. Southpaw for Zalal. Zalal uses a few kicks to do some range finding, he’s also doing a bit of stance switching as he moves around. Double leg from Zalal, then he gets to a hip as Emmett is on his side. Zalal grabs at an arm from the back, it’s dangerous and Emmett tries to step around but taps as he can’t escape.

OFFICIAL RESULT: †WINNER – Youssef Zalal via Verbal Submission, armbar, at 1:38 of Round 1

The First Round Finish Club thanks Mr. Zalal for his work. Mic time for Zalal, he gives glory to God then puts over Emmett as a legend of the sport and tries to suck up to the crowd which doesn’t really work. He says the strategy was always to take Emmett down and says he’s too smart for most fighters and just needs his chance. He says he wants Lerone Murphy next, seems unlikely but he is due a fight near that level. To close he says something in what I think is either Arabic or Moroccan Berber that doesn’t get translated.

Jiri Prochazka is a former light heavyweight champion but his 0-2 record against Alex Pereira means he’s in a dicey position relative to the title right now. Prochazka is coming off of a win over Jamahal Hill and if he can get another winning streak going he could be in the title picture depending on how a few other things shake out. Khalil Rountree also has a loss to Alex Pereira and is coming off of a win over Jamahal Hill, he’s likewise trying to get another crack at the title. The odds lean towards Prochazka at -210 to Rountree’s +175.

OFFICIAL RESULT: †WINNER – Jiri Prochazka via KO, punches, at 3:04 of Round 3

The Final Round Finish Club thanks Mr. Prochazka for his work. Mic time for Prochazka, he plays with the crowd then says he had to go through the blood to get this win and to get his mind and spirit back into this. He says a lot of chaos is good for him because he stays calm in those moments and finds ways to win. He says he needs to feel in danger from the start of the fight and would like to fight for the title next. Asked about the future he says Ulberg already declined to fight him, now he’s beaten Hill and Rountree back to back.

Cory Sandhagen has been a top bantamweight for a while now but he’s also had some key losses that stalled his momentum, the loss to TJ Dillashaw even though I thought Sandhagen won that fight, or the quick submission loss to Aljamain Sterling being examples. Most recently Sandhagen defeated Deiveson Figueriedo to get this shot and he seems to know that if he comes up short he’s unlikely to get another crack at the title. Merab Dvalishvili is the bantamweight champion and is on an absurd 13 fight winning streak, he’s also going for his third title defense here. With a win Dvalishvili will be putting his name into some pretty legendary company and further establishing his legacy in the sport. It’s not a surprise to see Dvalishvili as the favorite at -405 to a +330 comeback on Sandhagen.

OFFICIAL RESULT: †WINNER – and STILL UFC Bantamweight Champion Merab Dvalishvili via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-45 x2)

Mic time for Dvalishvili, he says he’s a machine and keeps getting better then puts over his team. He feels like he’s just starting to become a good fighting now, he’s finally moving beyond a lot of his wild impulses. Asked what he wants next, he says Petr Yan looked good and he just wants to stay active and would like to fight in December if possible.

To close he does the “I’m just a normal guy” schtick then puts over his team again.

Alex Pereira is a former middleweight and light heavyweight champion in the UFC but he did come up short in his last fight which cost him the title, now he’s trying to regain that title and add his name to a really short list of fighters who have won multiple titles across multiple weight classes. Magomed Ankalaev has a 114 fight unbeaten streak going on though a draw and No Contest do exist during that stretch which led him to capture the light heavyweight title. Now Ankalaev is trying to defend the title he just took from Pereira and begin establishing his reign in the division. Ankalaev is the favorite at -260 while that +215 payout on Pereira is a really tempting value bet.

The First Round Finish Club thanks Mr. Pereira for his work. Mic time for the new champion and the translator, he says vengeance is a poison and he just wanted to prove he wasn’t lying when he said he was in poor condition for the first fight. He wasn’t surprised at the outcome now that he’s back to being healthy, then sends love to the family of Jon Jones as they deal with the tragic passing of his brother Arthur Jones and gets the crowd to have a moment of silence for Arthur Jones and the Jones family. Classy move.
