Pereira is the hottest fighter on Dana White's books, with Poatan taking the light heavyweight title last November to become the first man in UFC history to have been world champion in that and middleweight classes. With two consecutive defences in Vegas at UFC 300 and 303, the Brazilian doesn't look ready to have it ripped from his grasp quite yet.
But could this be Rountree's time? The War Horse is undefeated in two years, with five wins from five UFC fights over that period. Aged 34, there's a feeling that it's now or never for the Californian southpaw and he'll be desperate to capitalize in the Octagon on Saturday.
It's not the only strap on the line at UFC 307. There's a tasty looking battle between Raquel Pennington and Julianna Peña set to take place with the former putting up the Women's Bantamweight Championship that she beat Mayra Bueno Silva for in January.
With those fights preceded by 10 others, keep reading for where to watch UFC 307 live streams online and on TV.
Is UFC 307 a PPV?
Yes and no. UFC 307 is a PPV event in the U.S., U.K. and other countries listed here. But there are many places where you don't need a PPV to watch UFC events.
For example, UFC fans in Ukraine can watch UFC 307, and other fight sports events, on the Megogo subscription streaming service.
That's worth knowing if you're a Ukrainian away from home because you can use a VPN to watch UFC 307 from abroad on Megogo as usual.
