September 29, 2024
A bantamweight clash between Jose Aldo and Mario Bautista has been elevated to the UFC 307 main draw.

The promotion officially announced the pay-per-view lineup during the UFC Paris broadcast on Sauturday. The shift comes after a featherweight showdown between Aljamain Sterling and Movsar Evloev was postponed until UFC 310.

UFC 307 takes place on Saturday at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is headlined by a light heavyweight championship bout between Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree. The main card airs on pay-per-view via ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. The prelims begin on ESPN+ at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT before moving to ESPNEWS and ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Aldo has won four of his last five fights at bantamweight. The former featherweight champion returned from retirement at UFC 301, where he captured a unanimous decision win against Jonathan Martinez on May 4.

Anchored at the MMA Lab, Bautista will take a six-bout promotional winning streak into his matchup with Aldo. Most recently, Bautista took a three-round verdict over Ricky Simon at UFC Fight Night 234 on Jan. 13.
