Headlined by light heavyweight giants Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree Jr., UFC 307 promises a night of fun matchmaking and exciting fights.
With Pereira returning to make his third title defense and continue his historic run against a dangerous and unexpected opponent in Rountree, fans have been up in arms about the matchup. While many argue that Rountree has not yet earned a title shot, it will be proven tonight whether that sentiment holds true.
The card also features incredible matchups such as former featherweight champion Jose Aldo and surging contender Mario Bautista, highlight-reel strikers Stephen Thompson and Joaquin Buckley, and a women’s bantamweight title bout with years of animosity and build-up between TUF alumni Raquel Pennington and Julianna Pena.
