UFC 307 Main Card Unveiled: Pereira Defends Title Against Rountree in Salt Lake City

Alex Pereira is set to keep his reign alive at UFC 307, headlining what might be one of the most stacked events of the year. Fans can expect fireworks on October 5 in Salt Lake City.

During UFC 306, the promotion dropped the full lineup, and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable night.

Pereira, fresh off his first title defense, returns to put his light heavyweight belt on the line against the surging Khalil Rountree. It will mark his second defense in just four months.

In the co-main event, Raquel Pennington will defend her bantamweight title for the first time against Julianna Peña, who is making her highly anticipated return to the Octagon.

Further down the main card, Movsar Evloev collides with former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling in a pivotal featherweight matchup, while Kayla Harrison seeks to secure her shot at UFC gold by taking on top contender Ketlen Vieira.

Plus, Roman Dolidze will look to halt the momentum of fan favorite Kevin Holland.

The prelims are loaded with star power as Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson faces the explosive Joaquin Buckley, while former champions Jose Aldo and Carla Esparza also grace the lineup.

Thompson-Buckley headlines the prelims and Nate Landwehr, who brings his high-octane style, faces Austin Hubbard.
