    SALT LAKE CITY – Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree are one step closer to throwing down in the octagon after making weight Friday for the UFC 307 main event.

    Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) will put light heavyweight gold on the line for the third time in 175 days when he takes on Rountree (13-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC)) in the headlining act Saturday at Delta Center (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+).

    Before they can step into the cage, both athletes needed to make weight. They did that at the UFC host hotel in Utah. Challenger Rountree was the first fighter to come to the scale during the one-hour official weigh-in session and was 205 pounds on the nose. Champion Pereira was the final fighter to weigh-in and registered at 205 pounds on the button to make the fight official.

    Watch the video above to see Pereira and Rountree make weight for their UFC 307 title clash.
