Alex Pereira wants Khalil Rountree to put his money where his mouth is.
Pereira puts his light heavyweight title on the line against Rountree in the main event at UFC 307 on Saturday at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Rountree getting a title shot over Magomed Ankalaev came as a surprise to many, including Pereira.
However, “The War Horse” has consistently defended his gold bid as a clash of fan-friendly styles. Both proven knockout artists, Pereira and Rountree have a combined total of one takedown attempt in their UFC careers.
