Two title fights: Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira for the Light Heavyweight Championship and Merab Dvalishvili vs. Cory Sandhagen for the 135-pound title headline UFC 320 on October 4. But that isn’t all, as another exciting 205-pound contest between No. 2 Jiri Prochazka vs. No. 4 Khalil Rountree Jr. is on this card.

The former Light Heavyweight Champion, Prochazka, is 5-2 in the UFC with five finishes and has only lost to one fighter in the promotion, Alex Pereira. Meanwhile, his opponent Rountree is coming off a dominant victory against former champion Jamahal Hill in June. Rountree has won six of his previous seven fights in the UFC with five knockouts.

In this matchup, Prochazka is the betting favorite at -218 with Rountree being the +180 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. The winner of this fight could very well earn themselves a future title opportunity against the victor of Ankalaev vs. Pereira.
