Alex Pereira cashed in on another main event spot last night (Sat., Oct. 5, 2024) at UFC 307 live on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, stopping Khalil Rountree in the main event for his third-straight UFC light heavyweight title defense (watch HERE). The co-main event saw former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Pena win her belt back with a close split-decision nod over titleholder Raquel Pennington.

In addition to the main event slobber knocker, UFC 307 played host to a collection of high-profile fights featuring some of the biggest names in the sport. Check out some of the memorable action below and let us know which performances stood out the most:

  • Court McGee turned back the clock for his first finish in 14 years when he submitted fellow welterweight veteran Tim Means with a first-round rear-naked choke
  • Light heavyweight contender Ryan Spann may have officially ended Ovince Saint Preux’s UFC career with a sensational first-round guillotine choke
  • Former UFC welterweight title challenger Stephen Thompson suffered a brutal knockout loss at the powerful hands of rising contender Joaquin Buckley (see HERE)
  • Roman Dolidze captured a TKO win over Kevin Holland on the PPV main card, but that’s because “Trailblazer” suffered a painful rib injury and couldn’t continue

To sift through the action and see which fighters took home an extra $50,000, we take a closer look at the official UFC 307 post-fight bonus winners below:

  • Fight of the Night: Alex Pereira vs Khalil Rountree Jr.
  • Performance of the Night: Joaquin Buckley
