Pushing for greatness

Conor McGregor is ultimately rolling with Alex Pereira later tonight (Sat., Oct. 5, 2024) at UFC 307 live on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, but “Notorious” is cautioning the UFC light heavyweight champion about the “major danger” of fighting someone like Khalil Rountree Jr.

Later tonight, Pereira will put his 205-pound title on the line for the third-straight time. He’s been the most active champion over the past year and has quickly become one of the most popular and marketable fighters on the entire roster. Another victory this weekend at UFC 307 will catapult “Poatan” to even greater heights as 2024 comes to a close.

While Pereira is a big favorite to take care of business this weekend in Salt Lake City and retain his title, McGregor believes his main event fight against Rountree will be much closer than people think. McGregor is picking Pereira to win, but he has warned the UFC champion about the potential dangers of a no-nonsense challenger like Rountree.

If Pereira is able to take out Rountree at UFC 307 and extend his title-fight win streak to four then McGregor would like to see “Poatan” challenge Jon Jones next at heavyweight. It would be a chance for Pereira to win his third UFC title and is undoubtedly one of the biggest matchups to make in the sport right now.

Check out McGregor’s comments below (which have since been deleted):

“A lot of unanswered question still about Khalil but he is a nasty operator for sure. Pereira looked slightly drawn also on the scale. It’s either mans to win imo. I lean Pereira, on form, big, accurate, powerful. But Kalil has characteristics that could cause major danger! Man, it’s a tough one. Something tells me this will be a test! Pereira is just about ready for heavyweight now imo. Him Vs Jones would be amazing to watch! A chance to go 3 weight. Could be spoiled tomorrow night however, don’t be surprised. Let’s go!

MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Chris Curtis is set for a 2025 return to the UFC octagon.

Multiple people with knowledge of the promotions plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Curtis will face Roman Kopylov in a middleweight bout at the UFC’s Fight Night event on Jan. 11 at a location and venue yet to be announced.

Curtis is set to make his 10th promotional appearance and looks to bounce back in the win column following a split decision loss in a Fight of the Year contender against Brendan Allen at UFC Vegas 90 in April. “The Action Man” returns to action after suffering a torn hamstring in the fight, and was slated to face Kevin Holland on Saturday’s UFC 307 card before being forced to withdraw.

After having his four-fight win streak snapped by Anthony Hernandez at UFC 298 in February, Kopylov returned to the win column three months later with a split decision win against Cesar Almeida at UFC 301. During his previous winning streak, Kopylov finished all four of his opponents.

MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Think you can figure out which UFC fighter we’re talking about? You’ll get five clues to figure him out.

We’re back for another day of the SB Nation UFC in-5 daily trivia game, and we’re switching to a system of a new article each day for the game.

We tried using a single article for the game, updated with the latest game each day, but it was creating a bit of an unwieldy experience in the comments. So, we’ll have the current day’s game plus the previous three days in each new article. That way, you can catch up if you miss a day.

Game instructions are at the bottom if you’re new to the game!

What we need from you

1. Play the game
2. Share your result in the comments and on social media
3. Provide feedback (Google Form or in comments below)

Today’s UFC in-5 game

Friday’s UFC in-5 game

Thursday’s UFC in-5 game

Wednesday’s UFC in-5 game

The goal of the game is to guess the correct random UFC fighter player with the help of up to five clues. We’ll mix in BOTH ACTIVE AND RETIRED FIGHTERS. It won’t be easy to figure it out in one or two guesses, but some of you might be able to nail it. It will be a mix of well-known players and some “that guys” that we haven’t thought of in some time. The game will appear in slot #3 of the MMA Fighting layout each morning, with occasional movement later in the day.

After you correctly guess the player, you can click “Share Results” to share how you did down in the comments and on social media.
