UFC 307 will be called by longtime play-by-play man Jon Anik, with support from color commentators Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier. The pay-per-view (PPV) action, headlined by the light heavyweight title fight pitting Alex Pereira (c) against Khalil Rountree Jr., gets underway this Sat. night (Oct. 5, 2024) from inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
MMA Fighting brought word of the broadcast plans on Monday.
“The consequences are extreme,” Rogan said about Pereira on the “Countdown to UFC 307” video preview (watch the replay here). “Any mistake you make with him, it’s night-night. We’ve talked about rapid rises — Conor McGregor, Israel Adesanya … no one’s done it quite like this one.”
In the UFC 307 co-main event, women’s bantamweight titleholder Raquel Pennington locks horns with former division champion Julianna Pena. In addition, Jose Aldo returns to bantamweight to face off against the red-hot Mario Bautista, while Kayla Harrison looks to cement her status as No. 1 contender by turning away the rough-and-tumble Ketlen Vieira.
