Who Might Win?

Main Event:

Ankalaev is the safe pick—methodical, strong on the ground, and coming off a win. But if Pereira can strike early and keep distance, that heavy metal power could turn things fast. Expect a grueling chess match, possibly ending by decision.

Co-Main Event:

Fighting at Dvalishvili’s pace for five rounds is brutal. Still, Dvalishvili’s cardio and grappling give him the edge. But if Sandhagen sticks to technical striking and avoids the takedowns, an upset remains on the table.

UFC 320 promises one of the most layered fight nights of 2025: two title bouts, heavy stylistic contrasts, and meaningful undercard matchups. Whether you’re backing wrestling grit or slick striker skill, there’s something for every MMA fan.
