This is the main event of UFC 307 on Saturday, where he will compete against Khalil Rountree and this fight significantly features in Sports Buddy's Bet of the Day.
A great deal of criticism was directed at the announcement that Khalil Rountree would be the next competitor for the championship.

Usman on Pereira vs Rountree
But as the fight gets closer, the belief that Rountree isn't worthy of his shot is changing.
Fans of Alex Pereira, who are growing more and more excited about this fight, have been affected by this.
Fans are now so certain that Khalil Rountree can pull off the unexpected upset win that they are willing to believe it.
This is true even though Rountree is regarded by bookies as a major underdog.
Kamaru Usman, a former champion, is one of the people who believes in Rountree.
At an elevation of more than 4,000 feet, Kamaru Usman is worried about Rountree's ability to keep up his typical pace in the later rounds.
Usman thinks Rountree can catch Alex Pereira in one of the first two rounds because of his expertise and strength.
In addition, Kamaru Usman has mentioned that "crazy things" have happened in Utah in the past.
This is in reference to Usman's shocking head-kick knockout victory against Leon Edwards at UFC 278 in 2022.
