Alex Pereira looks to keep the magic going at UFC 307, capping off one of the deepest cards of the year.
During Saturday’s UFC 306 event, the promotion revealed the full lineup for its upcoming pay-per-view show, slated for Oct. 5 in Salt Lake City.
The show is topped by two championship bouts, with “Poatan” closing the show in an attempt to defend his 205-pound title for the second time in less than four months as he faces Khalil Rountree. In the co-main event, Raquel Pennington puts her bantamweight title on the line for the first time when she welcomes back Julianna Peña to the octagon.
The main card is complete with a key featherweight contest between Movsar Evloev and Aljamain Sterling, Kayla Harrison looks to earn a shot at UFC gold when she takes on Ketlen Vieira, and Roman Dolidze faces Kevin Holland.
