This clash promises fireworks, with Rountree riding a five-fight win streak, including four jaw-dropping knockouts. Pereira, fresh off his devastating KO victory at UFC 303, is aiming to solidify his legacy with yet another highlight-reel finish.

Pereira has dominated 2024 with two brutal knockouts, rocketing him to superstardom. His opponent, Rountree Jr., has been unstoppable, earning his shot at gold after a sensational run. This fight is set to be an electrifying stand-up war, with both fighters boasting a combined 18 knockout victories.
This is UFC's third trip to Salt Lake City in three years, following legendary moments like Leon Edwards' iconic KO of Kamaru Usman and Justin Gaethje's BMF title-winning knockout of Dustin Poirier. Now, Pereira and Rountree Jr. are ready to add their names to that illustrious list.
