Dana White recently unveiled an exciting lineup for UFC 307, set to take place on October 5th at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. This event promises to be one of the most thrilling UFC pay-per-views of the year, possibly rivaling the grandeur of UFC 300. The main card is headlined by the reigning UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Alex Pereira, who will defend his title against Khalil Rountree Jr. Pereira, known for his knockout power and dynamic fighting style, will face Rountree, a fierce striker with an impressive winning streak.
The co-main event will see Raquel Pennington defending her Women’s Bantamweight Championship against Julianna Peña. Peña, a former champion, is set to make a significant impact in the bantamweight division, potentially setting the stage for a future high-profile title clash against Kayla Harrison, who will fight Ketlen Vieira on the same card. The victor of this bout will likely earn a title shot against the winner of Pennington vs. Peña, adding further intrigue to the women's bantamweight division.
Additionally, the main card features a variety of compelling matchups. Movsar Evloev will face off against former Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling in a featherweight showdown, while Roman Dolidze will go up against Kevin Holland in a middleweight clash. The card also includes a welterweight bout between Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson and Joaquin Buckley, and a bantamweight fight featuring José Aldo against Mario Bautista.
The anticipation surrounding UFC 307 is already building, with fans eagerly awaiting what could be a historic night of fights. Pereira's third title defense in 2024 will be closely watched, as he aims to become the first fighter since Jon Jones to successfully defend the light heavyweight championship three times in a single year. Meanwhile, Rountree’s presence on the card highlights the UFC’s confidence in his ability to compete at the highest level despite his recent suspension due to a banned substance.
Overall, UFC 307 is shaping up to be a monumental event with a card packed with talent and high stakes. October will undoubtedly be a pivotal month for UFC fans, with this event serving as a major highlight before the UFC 308 in Saudi Arabia wraps up the year’s thrilling fourth quarter.
