Khalil Rountree had many people in awe after UFC 307 – especially Anderson Silva. Rountree (13-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC) proved to be a more than worthy opponent for light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) in Saturday’s main event in Salt Lake City, but he was ultimately overwhelmed and finished in Round 4.

Dana White recently took to social media with a post that’s got fight fans buzzing. The subject was Rountree’s face after his brutal bout at UFC 307. ‘ The War Horse ’ had stepped into the octagon against Pereira. It was a clash of striking titans with fans on the edge of their seats. Rountree gave it his all, but Pereira’s skill proved too much.

One of the most remarkable runs in UFC history continues, but after much more difficulty than expected. Alex Pereira methodically broke down a game Khalil Rountree Jr. and used a bruising sequence of body punches to retain his light heavyweight championship with a fourth-round stoppage Saturday night in the main event of UFC 307 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
