SALT LAKE CITY – Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree have handled their final bit of business before sharing the octagon at Friday’s UFC 307 ceremonial weigh-ins.
After making weight earlier in the day, current champion Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) and first-time challenger Rountree (13-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) got a last look at each other with a staredown in front of fans and media and the world watching online.
Pereira will attempt to make history with the shortest stretch between three successful title defenses after winning in April and July. Rountree, meanwhile, will look to make the most of his opportunity as an unexpected presence in a fight for the belt.
