UFC 307 takes place tomorrow and Alex Pereira is looking to make history. Poatan is seeking his third title defense in 175 days, which would break Ronda Rousey's record of fewest days with three title defenses. The 37-year-old Pereira is aware that time is not in his friend and has a short time to create a legacy in MMA before his career is over. Since his arrival in the UFC, Pereira has become a fan favorite, won two titles, and has delivered several highlight reel knockouts. Could it all come to an end on Saturday?

“Rountree will walk through Alex Pereira, that is the worst matchup I could think of. He does his best work when he is being attacked by a kickboxer. He is a counter fighter and he loves when you punch or kick at him first.” UFC legend Chael Sonnen stated this on his Good Guy Bad Guy podcast with Daniel Cormier.

Khalil Rountree is a dangerous opponent. He is on a five-fight win streak, with 5 knockouts, he is hungry for the belt and this is his first-ever championship fight. Fighters seem to believe Rountree has the power and counter-striking style to shock the world on Saturday.

 “I have never worked this hard, I have never been so consistent in my training,” Rountree stated at the UFC Press Conference.

When you're a champion like Alex Pereira the most dangerous fighters are the contenders who have never been in a championship fight before. The fighters who have dedicated their lives for this moment.

“What’s stopping me from getting what I want? For me the answer has been myself" Rountree stated at UFC 307.

Rountree presents a difficult challenge for Alex Pereira. But Pereira is focused on becoming a better fighter and crafting his legacy.

 “This camp I’ve made significant strides in my overall progress and my preparation,” Periera stated UFC Embedded.

Pereira vs Rountree is one of the most entertaining fights the UFC has made this year: the heavy striking style, and the knockout power this a fight for the fans. The fighters are aware what fans want and expect from this fight. 

 “It’s for the fans. You have two of the best strikers in the world going at it and that’s what I want to give the fans.” Rountree declared at the press conference.

 UFC 307 presents a pivotal moment for Alex Pereira as he aims to break a historic record with his third title defense against the formidable Khalil Rountree, who is eager to seize his first championship. The matchup promises to be an electrifying clash of striking prowess, highlighting the intense dedication and ambition of both fighters. Only one man will be champion after UFC 307.
