UFC 313 Post-Fight Show | Reaction To Magomed Ankalaev Ending Alex Pereira's Title Reign

Alex Pereira is no longer the UFC light heavyweight champion as Magomed Ankalaev became the first UFC fighter in 2025 to be announced "and new" by Bruce Buffer at the end of UFC 313. Will Pereira look to run it back against the new champ, or will "Poatan" make the move to heavyweight, and for a new quest? Following Saturday's pay-per-view event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to Ankalaev's unanimous decision win over Pereira to capture the title, how Ankalaev's first title defense could look, and how the UFC will respond to the shift in power at 205 pounds. Additionally, they discuss Justin Gaethje's Fight of the Night win against Rafael Fiziev, if Gaethje could get a title shot against Islam Makhachev, Maurico Ruffy's clubhouse leader for Knockout of the Year against Bobby Green, grading the card from top-to-bottom, and much more.
