Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. UFC 307

UFC president Dana White just made a series of official announcements regarding UFC 307, including Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. with light heavyweight crown on the line.

UFC 307

UFC 307 will be hosted at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, on October 5.

Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree Jr.

Poatan’ Alex Pereira, the popular Brazilian fan-favorite will again fight in a UFC title match. He has gone a perfect 4-0 in the light heavyweight division defeating former title-holders Jan B?achowicz, Jamahal Hill, and Ji?í Procházka twice. ‘Poatan’ won and has defended his throne all by way of knockout.

On October 5, he will face the US-born Khalil Rountree Jr. who is on a five-fight win streak in the light heavyweight division. Most notably, he is coming off an impressive knockout win over former title contender Anthony Smith. The US-born athlete will look to use his Muay Thai to stop the division king.

Raquel Pennington vs. Julianna Peña

Also featured at UFC 307, Raquel Pennington will put her recently won bantamweight title on the line against the former division champion Julianna Peña. Pennington is currently on a six-fight win streak. “The Venezuelan Vixen” will look to recapture her former gold.

Kayla Harrison vs. Ketlen Vieira

As we had previously reported for UFC 307, the October 5 event will also see Olympic medalist Kayla Harrison face the top-ranked Ketlen Vieira, likely for a number one contender slot.

The fight card will also see Jose Aldo vs. Mario Bautista, Roman Dolidze vs. Kevin Holland, and Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson vs. Joaquin Buckley. UFC 307 in Salt Lake City booked for October 5 is full of great matchups.

A huge featherweight clash is set for UFC 307 on October 5, as former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling looks to hand Movsar Evloev his first loss.

Evloev has been a force of nature since arriving in the Octagon and whilst he hasn’t had the finishes to really gather hype around his winning streak, his record speaks for itself.

Sterling has also not always received tons of praise for his fighting style but his high-level grappling combined with awkward striking, makes him a very tough test for his Russian opponent.

A fellow 145-pound contender on the UFC roster is excited to see how the two men match up with one another once the Octagon door closes.

Youssef Zalal Breaks Down Aljamain Sterling Vs Movsar Evloev At UFC 307

Youssef Zalal will look to secure back-to-back victories during his second stint in the UFC when he returns to face Jarno Errens on August 10.

In a recent interview with MMA News, the Moroccan fighter broke down how he sees the match-up of top contenders and grapplers going down in Salt Lake City.

Zalal made reference to how a clash of two grappling specialists often turns into a striking match between them as they cancel one another out on the floor.

He also provided the theory that based on what he has seen from both, this could be a wrestling versus jiu-jitsu affair.

“Those guys, I think it’s either gonna see a striking match the whole time and I think you’re gonna see one either wrestling and the other one jiu-jitsu. I feel like when the Russian fought Diego Lopes, you could see the jiu-jitsu kind of felt a little bit [off] right. I mean Diego Lopes’ jiu-jitsu is pretty good too so that’s why that, and I think Aljamain is a really good grappler obviously.

“so I think you’re going to see a little battle on that part or it’s going to be a full-on striking match whenever you put two grapplers together so I’m pretty interested to see how the match-ups and the styles go on that part.”

Movsar Evloev vs. Aljamain Sterling Set For UFC 307 On October 5

Top UFC featherweights Movsar Evloev and Aljamain Sterling will look to stake their claim for a first title shot in the division when they share the cage later this year.

The undefeated Russian and the former UFC bantamweight champion have been going back and forth on social media about doing battle ever since the latter successfully debuted in the weight class this past April.

A victory over Calvin Kattar at UFC 300 saw Sterling enter the rankings at #8, and “Funk Master” will now have the chance to crack the featherweight top five at the expense of Evloev.

As first reported by MMA Propagande and subsequently confirmed by both men on social media, Evloev and Sterling are slated to collide on the UFC 307 pay-per-view card on October 5.

A location and venue is yet to be officially announced by the promotion, but the expectation is for UFC 307 to take place at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Evloev, Sterling To Vie For Shot At Topuria’s Gold At UFC 307

When they finally meet in the Octagon after months of online discussion regarding a date and ducking allegations, both Evloev and Sterling will hope to continue their winning form all the way to the top.

Evloev (18-0) further climbed the 145-pound pecking order this year by narrowly getting the better of Arnold Allen on the scorecards at UFC 297 in Canada this past January. The result marked the former M-1 Global bantamweight champ’s eighth straight victory on MMA’s biggest stage, following triumphs over Dan Ige and Diego Lopes.

The Russian, however, has come under fire for his tendency to go the distance inside the Octagon, having yet to find a finish in the UFC since his debut back in 2019. He’ll look to rectify that unwanted statistic at the expense of the division’s newest contender.

Sterling (24-4) brought his time making a difficult weight cut down to 135 pounds to an end following his title loss to Sean O’Malley at UFC 292 in Boston last August. With his calls for an immediate rematch falling on deaf ears, “Funk Master” committed to the pursuit of gold in a second weight class, which he began successfully by outgrappling Kattar at April’s milestone PPV.

The 34-year-old must now get past Evloev if he’s to put himself in position for a future shot at Topuria’s featherweight title.
