  • Debrief: UFC 313 - Ankalaev NEUTRALIZES Pereira, Lightweight Chaos, & UFC’s Star Problem ft. @CrossoverMMA
    Mar 13 2025

    Jax is joined by Crossover MMA to break down the aftermath of UFC 313, including Alex Pereira’s surprising loss to Magomed Ankalaev. Did Ankalaev’s game plan neutralize Pereira’s offense, or was this just an off night for the former champ? We discuss fight scoring, rematch possibilities, and whether Pereira should consider a move to heavyweight.

    Plus, we dive into the lightweight division shake-up, Ilia Topuria’s future, and whether the UFC truly has a superstar problem. Is the promotion struggling to build new stars, or does Dana White’s presence make superstars unnecessary?
