UFC 313 established a new champion and possibly secured the chance for a fan favorite contender to challenge for championship. In the main event, Magomed Ankalaev snatched the light heavyweight title away from Alex Pereira by executing a smart gameplan to earn a unanimous decision victory.

Alex Pereira fires back with a hilarious response after his ex-girlfriend mocks him for his UFC 313 loss, keeping things lighthearted.

Ankalaev (21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) had to take the hardest of hard roads to get his chance at gold. Similar to fellow champs Belal Muhammad and Merab Dvalishvili, the long path consisting of a double digit unbeaten streak is what it took for Ankalaev to get his opportunity to challenge Pereira, and he got the job done by unanimous decision.
