Khalil Rountree continues to handle his UFC 307 defeat with class. Although Rountree (13-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC) gave an interview in the cage Saturday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, as he nearly bled all over commentator Joe Rogan, he did not post anything on social media until Sunday.

Ariel Helwani reacts to Saturday night's light heavyweight fight between Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree Jr., in which Pereira retained the belt with a fourth round TKO.

With Rountree fading, Pereira seized on the opening by delivering a pair of brutal body shots followed by an uppercut that helped him secure his third knockout win in 2024. UFC CEO Dana White took a victory lap after he heard some complaints that Rountree wasn’t deserving because of his ranking because he knew the stylistic matchup would deliver come fight night.
