Over the past few weeks, Khalil rountree has made clear its intention to face Alex Poatán in a fight fought entirely on feet in the main event of the UFC 307, this Saturday (5), with the challenger's team arriving to guarantee that, if anyone seeks to grapple during the fight, it will be the Brazilian. Now, it was the champion's turn to 'double down'.
In an interview with journalist Kevin Iole's YouTube channel, Alex Poatán said he didn't really believe in the statements of Khalil rountree and proposed a kind of charitable fine for the challenger if he does not comply with the agreement.

“Most of the opponents I faced said the same thing and the first thing they did was try to stick to his legs. I’ll only believe him if he comes out in public, promises not to takedowns and, if he does, he’ll donate 30%, 40%, 50% of his purse to needy children. Then I’ll believe him,” challenged the champion.
Alex Poatán e Khalil rountree Jr face each other for the light heavyweight belt (up to 93 kg) in the main fight of the UFC 307, this Saturday (5), at the altitude of Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. The event also features, in the co-main fight, the bantamweight belt dispute (up to 61,2 kg) between the champion Rachel Pennington and the former champion Julianna Pena.
