Alex Pereira will be hoping to make it a third successful title defense in just 175 days as he puts his light heavyweight crown on the line against Khalil Rountree Jr. in UFC 307’s headline act on Saturday.
The Brazilian star claimed the title from Jiří Procházka back in November, with “Poatan” beating Procházka once more in a rematch fight in his last appearance in the Octagon back in June at UFC 303.
Up next is California’s Khalil Rountree Jr., a big puncher with a 13-5-1 record, who’s on a run of five consecutive victories.
The bill also boasts the women’s bantamweight title fight as its main supporting act, with defending champ Raquel Pennington facing off against Julianna Peña.

How to watch UFC 307 in the US
The UFC has a long-running partnership with ESPN. That’s great news for the UFC and the expansion of the sport of MMA, but it’s bad news for the consumer choice of US UFC fans.
In the US, if you want to watch UFC 307, you’ll find the fight night only on pay-per-view through ESPN Plus. The cost structure is a bit confusing, but here are the options to watch UFC on ESPN, according to ESPN’s site:
- Existing annual ESPN Plus subscribers can order the upcoming UFC card for $80.
- New ESPN Plus subscribers can buy a bundle of UFC 307 PPV event (streaming in HD) and an ESPN Plus annual recurring subscription for $135. This is a decent deal. The ESPN Plus annual ESPN subscription will auto-renew after one year, at the price of an ESPN Plus annual subscription at the time of auto-renewal.
You can do all of the above at the link below.
