The UFC is wasting no time getting their pay-per-view of the month out to their fans, as this weekend already brings us UFC 313 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Our co-main event fell apart, but we’ve got a replacement for it, and the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship is still on the line in the main event. For my MMA Main Card Pick of the Week: UFC 313, we’re checking in on that aforementioned main event title match!

MMA Main Card Pick of the Week: UFC 313
UFC 313: Pereira vs Ankalaev
Main Card Start Time: 10:00 PM EST (PPV)
Alex Pereira would be the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion and the man the promotion goes to most frequently to headline their pay-per-view cards. But, at least according to the odds, his title reign could be in jeopardy come this Saturday night.
Magomed Ankalaev has made enemies with the UFC with his sometimes boring style, but it’s a style – strong grappling along with plenty of power on the feet – that could cause the champ fits.
However, I’m still siding with Pereira to win this one, and we’re getting great odds on him. Transitioning from a kickboxing background into MMA, Pereira is used to mixed martial artists trying to take him down, so he’s got strong wrestling defense. And I’ll take him against anyone in a stand-up battle.
