The 12-fight card’s main event will see Alex
Pereira put his light heavyweight championship on the line
against Khalil
Rountree, while the co-main event sees Raquel
Pennington look to make her first bantamweight title defense
against former champion Julianna
Pena. All four title fight participants, along with the rest of
the card, made weight.
Since losing the middleweight championship back to Israel
Adesanya, Pereira (11-2) has looked great at light heavyweight. “Poatan” is currently on a four-fight win streak that includes two
TKO wins over Jiri
Prochazka, plus victories over Jan
Blachowicz and Jamahal
Hill. The Brazilian officially stepped on the scale at 205
pounds on the dot.
Meanwhile, Rountree (13-5, 1 NC) comes into his first UFC title
fight on a five-fight winning streak. “The War Horse” has lived up
to his nickname by finishing four of those opponents via TKO,
including Anthony
Smith, Chris
Daukaus and Karl
Roberson. The 34-year-old underdog also weighed 205 pounds for
the fight.
