Alex Pereira is back at the top of the MMA world. In the main event of UFC 320, Patan ran directly over the cage and Magomed Ankalaev struck violently to take revenge and to regain its UFC -light heavyweight title.

It only took 1:20. Wow! Here is a look at the finish.

The Taunt at the end was legendary and future Hall-or-Famer Max Holloway.

Praise came from high places. Justin Gaethje pushed Patan enormous respect.

Patan has added his business as an all-time great. He was already a future Hall-of-Famer, but this victory was special. He has now regained two world titles in the UFC in various divisions.

Merab Dvalishvili sets a show

In the Co-Main event, Merab Dvalishvili added a low to the argument that it is the largest Bantamweight of all time. The reigning king of 135 pounds raised another impressive performance, while he easily defeated Cory Sandhagen on his way to a unanimous decision win.

Here is a look at the official scorecards.

Immediately afterwards, the MMA world exploded from response. Former UFC champion Welterweight Kamaru Usman showed respect for both men, but recognized Dvalishvili’s systematic demolition of Sandhagen.

Sandhagen had a strong first round and kept his distance and resisted. In the second round, however, Dvalishhvili showed the evolution of his game. He poked Sandhagen and almost finished him while dominating the second frame. That was the reason for the 10-8 score on two of the three score cards for jury members.

Dvalishvili’s ruthless struggle and Cardio ruled the rest of the fight when he insured 20 deletions to secure his successful defending defense.

Here is a look at the rest of the results, bonuses and highlights of the finishes of UFC 320.
