UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Magomed Ankalaev will have his first title defence after defeating Alex Pereira at UFC 313 on March 8, 2025. The Russian fighter has indicated that an exciting rematch is scheduled for August in Chicago, Illinois, marking the UFC’s return to the Windy City since 2019.

Ankalaev, 32, is the first Russian to win the UFC light heavyweight title. His unanimous decision victory over Pereira highlighted his dominance in the division. One month later, the champion generates excitement with cryptic social media posts.

“Who likes deep dish pizza?” Ankalaev wrote on X, a playful nod to Chicago’s famous dish and a tease of his potential return to face Pereira. Fans are buzzing about the possibility of this blockbuster fight headlining UFC 318 or UFC 319.

The first Ankalaev-Pereira clash was a close battle, but Ankalaev’s strategic brilliance earned him the belt. Despite the loss, Pereira remains unfazed. The former champion vowed to return stronger, sharing his determination with fans.

“I’ll be back like I’ve always done,” Pereira said after UFC 313. “Gonna make some adjustments for the rematch, and I’ll be much better. Never give up on your dreams. Chama.”

Why Chicago in August?

The UFC’s return to Chicago later in 2025 aligns perfectly with Ankalaev’s timeline. The city’s passionate MMA fanbase and iconic deep-dish pizza make it an ideal backdrop for this high-stakes showdown. While the UFC has not confirmed the date, August is a prime slot for this light heavyweight title fight.

Ankalaev’s rise to the top has been relentless. His victory over Pereira capped a stellar run through the division’s toughest contenders. Meanwhile, Pereira’s track record as a former champ ensures he’s still a force to be reckoned with.

Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how both fighters prepare. Will Ankalaev solidify his reign, or will Pereira reclaim the throne? One thing is certain: this rematch will be a must-watch event.
