MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

This is the UFC 307 live blog for Ketlen Vieira vs. Kayla Harrison, the opening main card matchup this Saturday in Salt Lake City.

A staple of the bantamweight division since joining the UFC in 2016, Vieira started her promotional career with four straight wins before suffering her first career defeat to Irene Aldana. Since then it’s been a mixed bag for the Brazilian with high-profile wins over Holly Holm and Miesha Tate, and a loss to current champion Raquel Pennington. Now Vieira has the task of turning back Harrison to earn a second crack at the current champ.

Harrison, a two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka, is one of the most accomplished athletes to ever transition to MMA. After spending the first five years of her career in PFL where she was a two-time lightweight champion, Harrison finally moved over to the UFC this year where she immediately made a splash by stopping former bantamweight champion Holly Holm at UFC 300. Now Harrison is on the cusp of a title shot with a win over Vieira on Saturday.

Check out the Vieira vs. Harrison live blog below.

MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Alex Pereira is going to be absolutely massive when he steps into the octagon at UFC 307.

“Poatan” puts his light heavyweight title on the line for the third time this year against Khalil Rountree to cap off Saturday’s pay-per-view card in Salt Lake City. After hitting the mark at 205 pounds at Friday’s UFC 307 official weigh-in, Pereira stepped on the scale during a pre-fight meal, and weighed a whopping 230 pounds — a video that originally was seen on Pereira’s Instagram stories.

Check out the fight day weigh-in from the champ in the video below.

Pereira weighed in at 104.3 kilograms, which equates to 229.9 pounds. The two-division title winner captured the light heavyweight championship at UFC 295 this past November with a knockout of Jiri Prochazka. He then went on to knockout Jamahal Hill, and Prochazka for a second time at UFC 300 and UFC 303, respectively.

Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree have both provided memorable highlights, now putting those two elements in Salt Lake City — a location that has delivered all-time UFC moments over the past couple of years.

Saturday’s UFC 307 event will be headlined by a light heavyweight championship main event between Pereira and Rountree, while Raquel Pennington puts her newly-won women’s bantamweight title on the line against past champ Julianna Pena in the co-main event.

Watch the UFC 307 cold open below, narrated by actor Ron Perlman.

Pereira looks to add to his Fighter of the Year campaign as he puts his belt on the line for the third time this year. “Poatan” delivered brutal knockouts of Jamahal Hill at UFC 300 in April, and Jiri Prochazka at June’s UFC 303 event. It will be Pereira’s fourth fight in the past 11 months.

Rountree gets his first crack at UFC gold following a stoppage win over one-time title challenger Anthony Smith earlier this year.

Magomed Ankalaev is upset for not landing the next shot at UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and it’s hard to blame him. The Russian contender is unbeaten in his last 12 trips to the Octagon and was expected to get his hands on “Poatan” this year.

Unfortunately for Ankalaev, UFC matchmakers skipped him in line and decided to grant the No. 8-ranked Khalil Rountree Jr. the opportunity to fight Pereira for the belt this weekend at UFC 307 in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a move that shocked many in the sport considering Rountree seemed to be at least two more wins away from a shot at UFC gold.

Ankalaev, who is currently scheduled to fight Aleksandr Rakic at UFC 308 this October, will have to wait his turn. The Russian fighter has been going toe-to-toe with Pereira in the media, but that’s not enough. Ankalaev wants to get his hands on Pereira and most fight fans want to see it, too. That is, of course, if “Poatan” doesn’t decide to leave the light heavyweight division in 2025 to challenge for heavyweight (or middleweight) supremacy.

For now, fight fans are expecting to see Pereira win at UFC 307, Ankalaev to win at UFC 308, and the two fighters to finally settle their beef sometime early next year. A lot can go wrong with those plans because Rountree and Rakic are two very dangerous fighters in the UFC’s light heavyweight division, but it’s the most likely scenario.

On Saturday, Ankalaev took to social media to give his official prediction for Saturday’s title fight between Pereira and Rountree. Ankalaev believes that Pereira will fall back on some magical voodoo to capture another impressive knockout, but also promised to “beat this demon out of him” when they finally meet.

Check it out below:

“My prediction for UFC 307 main event @AlexPereiraUFC win KO voodoo help.

After this, I have to do my job and I will beat this demon out of him. They will never come back.”
