UFC 313 Controversy: Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev Decision Sparks Outrage

The UFC 313 event held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas has become the center of controversy following the main event fight between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev. The decision awarded to Pereira has been widely contested by fans, fighters, and analysts alike, with many labeling it a 'garbage decision.'

Magomed Ankalaev, visibly frustrated post-fight, claimed that Pereira 'ran away for 20 minutes,' suggesting a lack of engagement and action from his opponent. This sentiment was echoed by former UFC heavyweight fighters and other professionals in the sport, who took to social media to express their disbelief and disappointment over the outcome.

Adding to the event's woes, ESPN faced significant streaming issues during the replay, further frustrating fans who were unable to watch the controversial decision unfold live. The combination of the contentious fight result and technical difficulties has sparked widespread debate and criticism across the MMA community.
