[autotag]Alex Pereira[/autotag]’s next title defense is one few saw coming.
The Brazilian star is set to defend his UFC light heavyweight belt against [autotag]Khalil Rountree[/autotag] in the main event of UFC 307, which is set to go down in Salt Lake City on Oct. 5. Accompanying this 205-pound-title fight, a women’s bantamweight championship bout between [autotag]Raquel Pennington[/autotag] and [autotag]Julianna Pena[/autotag] will serve as the co-main event of the card.
So, did Rountree deserve to challenge Pereira, or should the UFC have waited and given Magomed Ankalaev the shot? Should the UFC have gone with Kayla Harrison as the next opponent for Pennington?
MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Matthew Wells, Danny Segura, and host “Gorgeous” George Garcia discuss the title fight bookings for UFC 307.
