This is the UFC 307 live blog for Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree Jr., the main event of this Saturday’s light-heavyweight title fight in Salt Lake City.

An accomplished kickboxer before making the transition to MMA, Pereira has already built a Hall of Fame-worthy career in the UFC in just a few short years. One of only nine two-division champions in promotional history, Pereira has become one of the sport’s biggest stars with his incredible knockouts and penchant for saving the day at short notice. A win over Rountree will further cement “Poatan” as a living legend and perhaps strengthen his claim for another Fighter of the Year award.

One of the light heavyweight division’s most devastating strikers, Rountree is the definition of a dark horse contender as the knockout artist earned this title shot despite only being ranked No. 8 in the UFC rankings and serving a six-year suspension months due to a failed attempt to win the title. drug test. Nevertheless, Rountree got the call to step in against Pereira and now has the chance to cement his “Glory Killer” status and claim an unexpected UFC title.
