The UFC has officially announced the main card for UFC 307, set to take place on October 5, 2024, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The event promises to deliver a thrilling night of action, headlined by a light heavyweight title bout between champion Alex Pereira and the surging contender Khalil Rountree Jr.
Pereira, the former two-division Glory kickboxing champion and former UFC middleweight titleholder, will be making his third defense of the light heavyweight crown since capturing the belt with a spectacular knockout victory over Jiri Prochazka earlier this year. The Brazilian striker has quickly become one of the most feared competitors in the UFC, known for his devastating knockout power and technical striking prowess.
Rountree Jr., on the other hand, has earned his shot at the title through a series of impressive performances, including a recent knockout win over Anthony Smith. The American fighter has shown significant improvements in his striking and overall game, making this matchup a potentially explosive encounter between two elite strikers.
