Alex Pereira will face his latest test as king of the light heavyweight division when he takes on Khalil Rountree in the hard-hitting main event of UFC 307 this weekend.

Headlining the promotion's return to Salt Lake City, “Poatan” will look to continue his dominant reign as champion, which first began with a knockout win over Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295.

It will be Rountree's first appearance since his four-month ban for a failed drugs test and 'The War Horse' will no doubt be desperate to dispel the doubters by pulling off an upset for the ages when he returns.

In the co-main event, Raquel Pennington defends her bantamweight title for the first time since capturing the title at UFC 297, taking on former champion Julianna Pena, who is desperate to reclaim the throne.

Elsewhere on the main card, Kevin Holland begins an exciting middleweight bout with Georgian slugger Roman Dolidze, while the likes of Jose Aldo and Kayla Harrison are also in action.

This event is so exciting that fan favorite Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson has been relegated to the preliminary round and will face Joaquin Buckley in a highly anticipated welterweight bout.
