UFC 307: Pereira vs Rountree Jr - Full Fight Card and UK Timings

On October 5th, UFC 307 will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah. The main event is an unexpected showdown between Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree Jr. This marks the third time Pereira has stepped in to save a PPV event this year, having headlined UFC 300 and UFC 303.

A Surprising Matchup at UFC 307

The fight between Pereira and Rountree Jr is surprising due to Rountree’s current ranking and recent suspension. The No. 8-ranked light heavyweight fighter was suspended earlier this year after a doping violation. However, the suspension ends just in time for him to compete on October 5th. Although some may see this matchup as a bit unfair given other contenders in the division, it is still stylistically intriguing.

Pereira is coming off two brutal knockouts this year against Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill. Rountree Jr was initially scheduled to face Hill on June 29th before his suspension took effect. His last win was a TKO victory over Anthony Smith in December, finishing him in the third round.

Other Exciting Bouts on the UFC 307 Card

Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson is finally back in action as he faces off against the explosive Joaquin Buckley! Thompson is looking to bounce back after a submission loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov in December at UFC 296. Buckley, on the other hand, is coming off an exciting decision win against Nursulton Ruziboev in May during UFC St Louis.

UFC legend Jose Aldo is also returning after his victory in May against Jonathan Martinez at UFC 301. Aldo will face Mario Bautista in a thrilling bantamweight clash. Aldo came out of retirement in 2022 and dominated Martinez with his elite boxing. Bautista, meanwhile, has been steadily making a name for himself in the division, with his last win being a decision victory over the tough Ricky Simon in January.
