Former two-weight title challenger, Chael Sonnen is going with the massive underdog ahead of UFC 307 in two months time — picking unlikely light heavyweight title challenger, Khalil Rountree to solve the striking puzzle of Alex Pereira and capture the crown in Salt Lake City.
Rountree, the current number eight ranked light heavyweight challenger, returns in October in the headliner of UFC 307, taking on former two-division champion, Pereira, in his first championship charge under the banner of the promotion.
Sidelined through an anti-doping violation, Rountree, a finalist on The Ultimate Fighter, most recently improved his impressive winning run to five straight fights with an impressive third round knockout win over former title chaser, Anthony Smith.
