Alex Pereira will be hoping to make it a third successful title defence in just 175 days as he puts his light heavyweight crown on the line against Khalil Rountree Jr in UFC 307's headline act on Saturday.
The Brazilian star claimed the title from Jiří Procházka back in November last year, with "Poatan" beating Procházka once more in a rematch fight in his last appearance in the Octagon back in June at UFC 303.
Up next is California's Khalil Rountree Jr, is a big puncher with a 13-5-1 record, who is on a run of five consecutive victories.
The bill also boasts Women's bantamweight title fight as it's main supporting act, with defending champ Raquel Pennington puts facing off against Julianna Peña.

The UFC has a long-running partnership with ESPN. That's great news for the UFC and the expansion of the sport of MMA, but bad news for the consumer choice of US UFC fans.
In the US, if you want to watch UFC 307, you'll find the fight night only on pay-per-view through ESPN Plus. The cost structure is a bit confusing, but here are the options to watch UFC on ESPN, according to ESPN's site:
Existing annual ESPN Plus subscribers can order the upcoming UFC card for $80. New ESPN Plus subscribers can buy a bundle of UFC 307 PPV event (streaming in HD) and an ESPN Plus annual recurring subscription for $135. This is a decent deal. The ESPN Plus annual ESPN subscription will auto-renew after one year, at the price of an ESPN Plus annual subscription at the time of auto-renewal.You can do all of the above at the link below.
TNT Sports is the exclusive UK broadcaster for all numbered UFC events in the UK. You can access TNT Sports in exactly the same way as its predecessor BT Sport, including via Sky Q as a TV package, as well as the option of streaming online. It costs £30 either way and comes in a package that includes Discovery Plus' library of documentary content.
You can check out the PPV on Kayo in Australia.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
