Pereira (12-2), the Brazilian striking savant, enters his fourth title defense with a staggering 10 knockouts in 12 wins, including four first-round finishes. Yet Ankalaev (20-1-1), a Dagestani powerhouse riding a 12-fight unbeaten streak, poses his gravest threat yet. Boasting 11 career KOs and a knack for early endings, Ankalaev’s relentless pressure could test Pereira’s legendary composure. Both fighters return after a six-month layoff, adding intrigue to their quest for dominance at 205 pounds.
