After a blockbuster UFC 319 event, the focus is aimed at the stacked next pay-per-view.
The August PPV of the UFC is in the books, after a night in Chicago in which Khamzat Chimaev crowned the new middleweight champion and Dricus du Plessis handed his first loss in the Octagon.
There were many other results for fans to digest, including Lerone Murphy's brutal knockout by debutant Aaron Pico, who marked the second consecutive rotating back reading after Carlos Prates had used the same movement to starch Geoff Neal.
Although the Fallout is going to UFC 319, it will not be long before fans start to look at the next PPV offer of the promotion. And after a September that will be one, the UFC returns to numbered cards with a bang in October.

UFC Drops Cold Video Previewing Championship Double-Header on UFC 320
Before the annual Abu Dhabi event Tom Aspinall defends its heavyweight title on UFC 321 against Ciryl Gane, the T-Mobile Arena of Las Vegas will play host for UFC 320 on 4 October.
A Double Header championship will surpass a stacked line-up in 'Sin City', with the rematch of Magomed Ankalaev against Alex Pereira for the light heavyweight title head and Merab Dvalishvili confronted with a challenge for his Bantamweight from Cory Sandhagen in the Co-Main Evenement.
Prior to that long-awaited map, the promotion dropped a teaser during the UFC 319 broadcast, where fans are hyped with a goosebump-inducing promotional video that shows the skills of the four headliners and the use of their two matchups.
The video focused a lot on Pereiras striving for revenge on Ankalaev. The former two -division champion had its light heavyweight reign ended on the Scorecards on UFC 313 last March and now wants to return immediately to the throne.
Fans share predictions for Magomed Ankalaev vs Alex Pereira 2 after new UFC 320 Promovideo
The MMA community responded quickly to the video, with some who praise the UFC for another successful promo and others who make their early predictions for the shot of Pereira on revenge on Ankalaev.
“Let's never miss Gooo, UFC is already missing the promos – goose bumps!”
“Ankalaev can even stop Pereira this time. He has been on vacation for too long.”
“Promo hype hits hard tonight.”
“Dana (white) cooked with this card.”
“Alex by whatever he wants.”
“I was pumped like that.”
“Chama is back.”
But not everyone was impressed by the latest PPV promotion video from the UFC.
“This promo would you think that Chama is the champion and Ankalaev is the challenger.
“You know for whom the promotion is shooting.”
“They literally recycled the cold open of the first fight and changed the story.”
“Not worth the PPV.”
