UFC 313 PPV Results, Highlights

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) brought us UFC 313 TONIGHT (Sat., March 8, 2025), streaming LIVE on ESPN+ PPV from inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC 313’s pay-per-view (PPV) main event was Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev for Pereira’s UFC Light Heavyweight title (something UFC really wants Pereira to retain, apparently).

Our co-main event tonight was Justin Gaethje vs. Rafael Fiziev, in a short notice booking (after a slew of Lightweights turned the fight down). Also on the main card we got Jalin Turner vs. Ignacio Bahamondes, Amanda Lemos vs. Iasmin Lucindo and King Green vs. Mauricio Ruffy.

UFC 313’s “Prelims” were supposed to be headlined by Curtis Blaydes vs. Rizvan Kuniev. However, Blaydes withdrew on fight day with an illness. Rei Tsuruya vs. Joshua Van served as the new featured “Prelim”. Brunno Ferreira vs. Armen Petrosyan and Alex Morono vs. Carlos Leal were also on the “Prelims.”
