Khalil Rountree JR fought back with Jamahal Hill, suggesting that the previous title contenders were not on his level.
On Saturday night, Khalil Rountree JR will face Jamahal Hill in the main event of UFC Baku. Although there is no guarantee, the belief is that a big victory and finish for one of the two men can guide them on the path to another UFC Light Heavyweight Championship Championship opportunity.
Most fans and experts look forward to excitement. Jamahal Hill was a former champion, and Halil Rountree Jr. wasn’t too far from being upset by his own championship opportunity against Alex Pereira. Whichever side you fall on, it’s safe to say that Azerbaijan has got something that’s right for their first UFC main event.
In a recent interview, Khalil Rountree Jr opened up in a comment made by Jamahal Hill recently, suggesting that Khalil is not on his level.
Thoughts on Jamahal Hill’s recent comments from Khalil Rountree Jr.
“I think it’s a mixture of a lot, but this is not the first time I’ve heard of this. I’ve heard of Alex, I’ve heard of Jiri, so I’ve left it as is.
One thing we can expect to simplify the problem here is violence. These two men know how to strike and how to put out someone’s lights.
For current UFC light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev, this is an opportunity to see how two rising candidates deal with the pressure they want to fight for the belt. At the very least, we get some answers about their direction in the department.
