Now officially set to settle their differences at UFC 313, Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev has reignited their war of words on social media — with the Russian warning the incumbent light heavyweight that with his signature of a bout agreement, his “death certificate” has been sealed.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight kingpin and the incumbent light heavyweight gold holder, was announced as the official headliner of UFC 313 over the course of the weekend, main eventing the March 8. card in ‘Sin City’ in a title grudge with surging Russian rival, Ankalaev.
In the night’s co-headliner, former interim lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje is set to do battle with streaking Kiwi striker, Dan Hooker over the course of five rounds — in a guaranteed barnburner between the duo.
