Alex Pereira Beats Khalil Rountree Jr. via 4th-Round TKO at UFC 307 to Retain Title

Alex Pereira remained the UFC's undisputed light heavyweight champion with a fourth-round TKO win over Khalil Rountree Jr. in the UFC 307 main event from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The intensity was palpable before the fight even kicked off. Pereira did his trademark pre-fight staredown and Rountree calmly returned the favor.

Rountree was not overwhelmed in the first frame. He did well to utilize his boxing to take an early lead in the fight, but Pereira was able to hit early calf kicks that started to break down his opponent early in the fight.
