The UFC’s return to Utah this fall has a main event – and it’s not one that was on many people’s radars. Light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) will put his title on the line against Khalil Rountree Jr. (13-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) in the UFC 307 headliner in Salt Lake City on Oct. 5. UFC officials announced the matchup Friday. Already in 2024, Pereira has title defenses in the UFC 300 main event against ex-champ Jamahal Hill and in the UFC 303 main event against ex-champ Jiri Prochazka.
