Currently announced fights on UFC 307:

 

[markys00]

Am i missing something? There already is a main event..

 

[LoveMyMMA]

It's gonna be Pena vs. Pennington

 

[Substance Abuse]

In all likelihood it's Pennington/Pena. Unfortunately.

 

[Joinho10]

Pantoja-Mokaev would have been nice

 

['Suga Daddy']

Thinking we’ll get Pennington vs Pena promoted to main and then a LW banger in the co main to keep the fans happy

 

[Black9]

Pantoja vs Asakura (he has a massive Asian following)
Pena vs Pennington

Nah Pennington vs Pena is rumored but not announced yet.

I'd be fine with it if they stack the rest of the card, give us Oliveira vs Volkanovski or something as the co-main.

 

[Staph infection]

Betche coming out of retirement to rematch Rousey for the ladies BMF belt

 

[Staph infection]

Weili vs Suarez would be a nice fight but I'll take any fight that gets Suarez in there so I can watch that ass jiggle in her shorts.

 

[ChinaMMABlog]

It's gonna be Pena vs. Pennington

Correct.
They already have Kayla on the main card to build the next fight.
SLC is lucky to even get another PPV. UFC isn't giving them anything special.
Maybe they do a ladies double header w/ Zhang Weili vs. Tatiana Suarez on there too, but that's doubtful. They like to give Weili big fights, like a co-main on 309.
At least Aldo is fighting, but it's gonna be one of the weaker PPVs of the year. As it should be for SLC.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Dustin vs Volk

 

[svmr_db]

Acceptable PPV main card imo

Pennington vs Pena
Oliveira vs Volkanovski
Aldo vs Bautista
Evloev vs Sterling
Vieira vs Harrison

 

[Ares Black]

Acceptable PPV main card imo

Pennington vs Pena
Oliveira vs Volkanovski
Aldo vs Bautista
Evloev vs Sterling
Vieira vs Harrison

The whining about it would be loud but yeah it's acceptable. It's not like these crybabies pay for fights anyway.

 

[sdpdude9]

Likely Pennington vs. Pena. Weak main event, hope they give it a solid undercard.

 

[Rear Naked Toke]

Shedog lists the main event at Aldo vs Bautista.

It's not luck, they're paid millions to go there. That's how they do PPV locations now. Not sure if it's the government or the arena paying but they should pull a Saudi and tell UFC to do better

 

[Khaosan]

Raquel Pennington vs ANYONE. I MUST see this woman fight again.

 

[CC27]

It was gonna be Topuria/max but Islams injury forced them to push that fight to give to Abu Dhabi. that leaves them shit out of luck for 307.

Its not gonna be Alex. Its gonna be probably Pena/Rocky and maybe if they could get flyweight title fight, I dont know. That one might just be like the Brazil card after 299 and 300 and it is what it is. That card is the shit one and then Abu Dhabi, MSG and Vegas in Dec are big.

I think Zhang/Suarez would more likely end up on MSG under Jones/Stipe maybe as co main or even 3rd title fight. Really depends on Dec's plans with Conor. If he fights on Dec PPV then no other champs will be on that so they could put Zhang, maybe Flyweight on MSG with Jones. If Conor doesnt fight then they'll need them for that card and probably something like Belal/Shavkat or DDP/izzy vs Strickland to make a quick turnaround.
