    UFC 307: Pereira Extends Dominance With Record-setting Win Over Rountree Jr

    By IANS News October 06, 2024 • 14:56 PM View: 696
    Salt Lake City: It was far more competitive than many anticipated, but Alex Pereira successfully defended his light heavyweight title for the third time this year, finishing game challenger Khalil Rountree Jr. in the fourth round to close out UFC 307 at the Delta Center on Sunday.

    With the win, Pereira creates a new UFC record for the quickest time between three straight defenses. The record was previously held by UFC icon Ronda Rousey, but in just 175 days, Pereira has successfully defended his title three times, with defenses in April, June, and October.

    The Brazilian, who is known to dominate his bouts, suffered a slight scare in the opening stages as Rountree Jr. landed the most impactful blows in each of the first two rounds, as his speed and operating from the southpaw stance seemed to slow the champion just a little. But as the fight progressed and Pereira got his range and timing, the mammoth Brazilian started to punish the Las Vegas native, breaking him down, and putting him away along the fence in the waning moments of the fourth.
