Fans Criticise UFC Light Heavyweight Title Fight between Pereira and Rountree

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira (Brazil) will be defending his belt against Khalil Rountree (United States) at UFC 307 on October 5. This is the main event of the fight card.

Pereira has successfully defended his belt twice, first against Jamahal Hill (United States) at UFC 300 and then against Jiri Procházka at UFC 303. UFC 307 would be Pereira’s third title defence.

The Pereira vs Rountree fight has been severely criticised by MMA fans who have pointed out that Magomed Ankalaev (Russia), who is higher than Rountree in the Light Heavyweight rankings, deserves a title shot. Rountree is also facing backlash as he tested positive for a banned substance in May. He was suspended for two months and is now straightaway getting a title fight, fans have pointed out.

In an interview with combat sports journalist Kevin Iole, Rountree said, “If you’re anything but excited about this fight, maybe you got the problem. I don’t think it’s the matchmakers or the company. It’s like if you have a problem with this, I think the problem is yours.”

How To Make Lavender Oil At Home In 5 Simple Steps

Collect fresh lavender flowers, ideally in the morning. You can also use dried lavender if fresh isn't available.

If using fresh lavender, allow it to dry for a couple of days in a cool, dark place. This helps prevent moisture from diluting the oil.

Choose a carrier oil like olive, almond, or jojoba oil. Fill a glass jar about halfway with dried lavender flowers.

Pour the carrier oil over the lavender flowers until they are completely submerged. Seal the jar and place it in a warm, sunny spot for 2-4 weeks.

After the infusion period, strain the oil through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

Transfer the lavender oil to a clean, dark glass bottle to preserve its potency.

1. Most Runs in a Single IPL Season (16 Matches)

With 973 Runs in IPL 2016, Virat Kohli’s record stands tall for now with Shubman Gill being the closest to reach the tally. However, at least in the 16-match IPL season per team, the record looks unlikely to be broken.

At the time of writing, Virat has completed 17 years at Royal Challengers Bengaluru and looks set to continue for another three years at the franchise.

With 8004 runs after the completion of the IPL 2024, Virat stands at the top of the summit for the most runs scored. Interestingly, he is likely to continue for at least another six years which could make his record out of reach. 

4. Most Matches as Captain without winning IPL

With 140 matches as captain of RCB, Virat remains the most successful captain in the franchise's history. However, despite this record, he could not help RCB win the title, and he helped them to the finals twice. 

5. Most Playoff Matches played without winning IPL

With 14 playoff matches played and 708 runs scored in the 17 seasons, Virat remains unfortunate to have never won the IPL.
