In the end, the fans who bought tickets for UFC 307 in Salt Lake City got their money's worth.
That's largely due to the latest impressive performance from light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, who is now the obvious frontrunner for the year's Fighter of the Year honors.
Pereira had some troubles with Khalil Roundtree, but in the end, dissected his opponent with brutal efficiency in the fourth round. A clearly battered and exhausted challenger finally succumbed to Pereira's onslaught and was knocked out with a devastating body shot.
There was some backlash when the fight was announced, as many felt the title shot should have gone to Russia's Magomed Ankalaev, but it's doubtful anyone will be complaining about the matchup now that the event is over.
