The final three fights — what to watch

1) Ankalaev vs. Pereira 2 — light heavyweight title

Storyline: immediate rematch. Ankalaev aims to double down on a control-heavy blueprint; Pereira hunts adjustments in center cage.
Tactical keys:

  • Ankalaev: chain wrestling, fence rides, rear-hand timing on Pereira’s entries.

  • Pereira: jab/teep to control range, low/mid kicks to slow level changes, front-headlock/guillotine threats when the shot comes.
    Telltale: more clean center exchanges → Pereira’s fight; more wall time/positional control → Ankalaev’s pace.

2) Merab Dvalishvili vs. Cory Sandhagen — bantamweight title

Storyline: Merab’s engine vs. Sandhagen’s angles.
Tactical keys:

  • Merab: layered takedown attempts, mat returns, and clinch pressure.

  • Cory: feints, long weapons, and exits at angles to reset cadence.
    Telltale: whoever imposes tempo wins—grind vs. geometry.

3) Jiří Procházka vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. — light heavyweight

Storyline: high-risk chess. Procházka’s chaos vs. Rountree’s clinical power.
Tactical keys:

  • Jiří: unorthodox entries, volume in bursts, scramble instincts.

  • Rountree: body/leg kicks early, punish oversteps with counters.
    Telltale: first big mistake likely decides it.
