Ahead of what should be a blockbuster night of action, our betting experts have put together everything you need to know, including their tips and predictions. Stick with us below to find out more, including where to watch UFC 307.

Alex Pereira

Defending champion Pereira is out to defend his title in Salt Lake City against a tough competitor. 

The Brazilian has quite a reputation in the game, already being the only fighter ever to hold both the UFC Middleweight and Light Heavyweight belts. The 37-year-old also holds the record for the shortest time taken to win two UFC titles.

The champion has the fourth-highest significant strike percentage in company history. Often referred to as ‘Poatan,’ he is the number-two ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC. He could retire right now and go down as one of the all-time greats in the sport. 

Khalil Rountree

Off the back of five consecutive victories, Rountree is in form and is ready to take on the best to be the best.

The most back-to-back wins the American has strung together, only Dustin Jacoby has taken him the distance. The rest have all been won by TKO.

Last time out, the 34-year-old dominated and finished Anthony Smith in the third round to make it 10 of his 14 UFC victories, all ending before the final bell. However, facing Pereira will be the toughest test of them all.
