Alex Pereira returned to the octagon last weekend, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313 and losing the light heavyweight title.
The UFC’s middleweight division has changed drastically since the first time Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze fought against one another two years ago in London, England.
Magomed Ankalaev shook up the light heavyweight division, but outside of that there has been little significant rankings movement in 2025 so far.
