Kamaru Usman: Nigerian Nightmare predicts downfall for Israel Adesanya's nemesis at UFC 307

Former UFC welterweight champion Nigerian Nightmare Kamaru Usman believes there will be a major shock at UFC 307.

This weekend, Alex Pereira, the current light heavyweight champion in the UFC, will try to defend his title.

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.

This is because a lot of fans thought Magomed Ankalaev was the best candidate to challenge the Brazilian.

Usman offered his opinion on the main event of UFC 307, which featured Pereira, the current light heavyweight champion, and Rountree Jr. as the challenger.

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.
