Alex Pereira made quick work of Magomed Ankalaev, but he broke his foot in the process.Seven months after dropping his light heavyweight belt to the Russian on points, Pereira reclaimed it by blasting away Ankalaev in 80 seconds with some heavy ground and pound.GettyPereira is the UFC light heavyweight champion once again[/caption]The finishing sequences started when ‘Poatan’ rocked Ankalaev with a looping right hand, prompting the champion to shoot in for a desperate takedown.Pereira stuffed the attempt and transitioned to half guard, where he rained down a series of vicious punches and elbows to close the show.As he wheeled off in celebration, it was clear Pereira’s movement was compromised.He then turned up to his post-interviews wearing a boot and revealed: “We have to see how this heals up, I’m pretty sure it is broken.“I was kicking his legs, and when he switched stances, as soon as I kicked his lead leg, I felt my foot.”How long will Alex Pereira’s injury take to heal?Pereira has always been very active, usually fighting no less than three times a year.However, his injury is expected to keep him out of action for a stretch.A broken foot requires roughly 6 to 8 weeks to heal, but it will take Pereira a little while longer to get back to kicking.The three-time UFC champion will undoubtedly feel frustrated by his injury, although the overriding emotion as the dust settles will be the feeling of vindication.“I told everyone I was not in good condition last time. Nobody believed it. You saw it [tonight],” Pereira said post-fight, referencing claims he was nursing a broken hand and a bout of norovirus during his unanimous decision loss to Ankalaev in March.View Tweet: https://twitter.com/SpinninBackfist?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwView Tweet: https://t.co/92PaCa5xTj“[Saturday’s result] didn’t surprise me. I saw that in the first fight. “I don’t like to make excuses, but I’ve been saying I wasn’t well that night — but tonight, I’m very well.”What were the rest of the results on the UFC 320 main card?In the co-main event, Merab Dvalishvili (21-4) secured his third consecutive bantamweight title defence with a tireless unanimous decision win over Cory Sandhagen (18-6).Before that, Jiri Prochazka (32-5-1) rallied late to flatten Khalil Rountree Jr (15-7) in the third round while trailing on the scorecards.Elsewhere on the main card, Youssef Zalal submitted Josh Emmett in the opening stanza, and Joe Pyfer secured the biggest victory of his career over Abus Magomedov via second-round rear-naked choke submission.Pereira, Prochazka and Pyfer all scooped Performance of the Night bonuses for their winning efforts.
