UFC 307: Pereira and Peña Win Their Title Fights

UFC 307’s poster featured Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. and Raquel Pennington vs. Julianna Peña in two title fights in Salt Lake City on Oct. 5, 2024. MMA Fighting reported the poster release.

Two championship fights

The light heavyweight title headliner matched champion Pereira with Rountree. In the co-main event, bantamweight champion Pennington faced former titleholder Peña. MMA Fighting’s poster announcement reported the two featured bouts.

How the fights ended

Pereira retained his title with a fourth-round TKO of Rountree. Peña defeated Pennington by split decision to regain the women’s bantamweight title. The official UFC scorecards list the results.

The final card changed before fight night, as UFC cards often do. The UFC 307 event page has the completed card and results from the Delta Center.

The original poster highlighted the two championship matchups; the event ultimately produced two new talking points: another Pereira title defense and Peña’s return to the championship.

The poster announced two championship matchups, but the completed event produced different kinds of title results: Pereira kept his belt by stoppage, and Peña regained hers by decision. The scorecards make Peña’s win a split decision rather than a unanimous result. That distinction is central to the final record of the card.
