Sun Sep 29 22:00:00 UTC 2024: ## UFC 307 Countdown: Pereira Defends Title Against Rountree, Pennington Faces Peña in Bantamweight Showdown
**SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH** – The UFC 307 Countdown video is out, hyping up the two title fights set to headline the anticipated event at the Delta Center next Saturday night.
In the main event, UFC light heavyweight champion **Alex Pereira** will defend his title against **Khalil Rountree**, a fighter on a five-fight win streak with a proven ability to defeat high-level kickboxers. Pereira, known as “Poatan,” has become a prominent figure in the UFC, and a successful title defense could lead him to even bigger matchups.
The co-main event features UFC bantamweight champion **Raquel Pennington**, who will be looking to make her first successful title defense after claiming the belt in a victory over Mayra Bueno Silva this past January. “Rocky” boasts a six-fight win streak but faces a formidable challenge in former champion **Julianna Peña**.
Peña, who last fought in July 2022, has not competed since her rematch loss to Amanda Nunes. However, she remains a dangerous opponent, having been the only fighter to defeat Nunes during her legendary reign from 2015 to 2023. With a victory, Peña could shake up the bantamweight division once again.
UFC 307 promises to be an exciting event with two highly anticipated title fights at the top of the card.
