Alex Pereira is still the UFC light heavyweight champion after UFC 307, but he was tested by a game Khalil Rountree. In the end, “Poatan” changed the tide of the fight, and in the fourth round, Pereira delivered one of the most brutal finishing sequences in quite some time of the incredibly tough challenger.

Following Saturday’s pay-per-view event, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to Pereira’s wild victory, Rountree’s stock rising immensely in defeat, and where both could go from here. Additionally, topics include Julianna Pena’s controversial split decision win over Raquel Pennington to regain the women’s bantamweight title, no-selling Kayla Harrison — who was victorious earlier in the evening against Ketlen Vieira — to call out Amanda Nunes, the judges and referees stealing headlines for questionable decision making, Joaquin Buckley’s big night, and much more.
