Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree have both provided memorable highlights, now putting those two elements in Salt Lake City — a location that has delivered all-time UFC moments over the past couple of years.

Saturday’s UFC 307 event will be headlined by a light heavyweight championship main event between Pereira and Rountree, while Raquel Pennington puts her newly-won women’s bantamweight title on the line against past champ Julianna Pena in the co-main event.

Watch the UFC 307 cold open below, narrated by actor Ron Perlman.

Pereira looks to add to his Fighter of the Year campaign as he puts his belt on the line for the third time this year. “Poatan” delivered brutal knockouts of Jamahal Hill at UFC 300 in April, and Jiri Prochazka at June’s UFC 303 event. It will be Pereira’s fourth fight in the past 11 months.

Rountree gets his first crack at UFC gold following a stoppage win over one-time title challenger Anthony Smith earlier this year.
