[autotag]Alex Pereira[/autotag]Few expected the next title defense.

The Brazilian star will defend his UFC light heavyweight belt against [autotag]Khalil Rountree[/autotag] in the main event of UFC 307, which is scheduled to take place on October 5 in Salt Lake City. Accompanying this 205-pound title fight will be a women’s bantamweight championship fight between [autotag]Raquel Pennington[/autotag] And [autotag]Julianna Pena[/autotag] will serve as the co-main event of the card.

So did Rountree deserve to challenge Pereira, or should the UFC have waited and given Magomed Ankalaev a chance? Should the UFC have chosen Kayla Harrison as Pennington's next opponent?

MMA Junkie's Brian “Goze” Garcia, Matthew Wells, Danny Segura and host “Gorgeous” George Garcia discuss the bookings for the title fights for UFC 307.
