UFC 307 -Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree Jr.: Fight card, odds ...

UFC is back on PPV this weekend with a loaded up fight card headed to Salt Lake City. The promotion brings UFC 307 with a pair of title fights atop the marquee and a host of former champions filling out the undercard. In the main event, light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira looks to defend his crown against Khalil Rountree Jr. Plus, the co-main event sees women's bantamweight champion Raquel Pennington put her title on the line for the first time against former titleholder Julianna Pena.

"Poatan" defends his 205-pound title against an unlikely foe, UFC's No. 8 ranked light heavyweight contender Khalil Rountree Jr. Pereira is a perfect 4-0 since leaving the middleweight division, including consecutive stoppages of Jiri Prochazka (twice) and Jamahal Hill. Rountree, who was scheduled to fight Hill before testing positive for banned substances, is on a five-fight winning streak with four stoppages. Rountree is one of the most powerful strikers at light heavyweight but has a tall test ahead of him against a two-division Glory kickboxing and two-division UFC champion.

Meanwhile in the co-main event, Pennington is on a surprising six-fight win streak dating back to June 2020. Her opponents haven't been world beaters by any means, but "Rocky" continues to go about her business in decisive fashion. The run was capped off by a decision win over Mayra Bueno Silva in January to claim the vacant title. Pena, on the other hand, has not fought since losing her rematch with Amanda Nunes in 2022. Her three most recent wins are over fighters who have since retired (Nunes, Sara McMann and Nico Montaño).
