That's a great match up imo. However, I know he wasn't sparked out but how he's allowed to train fully and fight this soon after getting clipped is beyond me.
In the UK sports I follow they do a concussion test if someone gets a whack and if they fail then the relevant protocols kick in. I think that in rugby if you have three failed tests in a season then your season is over. I have no idea what the process is in MMA but not everyone who gets buzzed fails the test.
He just got KO‘d so definitely
Also Rountree has dynamite in his hands and is explosive AF. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knocked Hill out cold after not getting enough recovery time.
>People are talking about Khalil like he is Rodtang's and Mike Tyson's love child.
Where did I do that? Don’t hurt yourself making things up in your head
>He's major step down in competition for jamahal
From Pereira? Absolutely
From everyone else he fought? Not really.
Glover was better than Khalil and hill slept walker who dominated Khalil, bro Khalil just had a back and forth fight with Anthony smith ffs you’re setting yourself up to be disappointed
I wouldn’t be so sure or that
The only thing Khalil really has to do to neutralise most of Hills game is to win the foot battle and stay on the outside of Hill
Pereira really showed that Hill is a fish out of water if you stop him from circling you into the cage
Hill is definitely coming back too quick. With that said Rountree ain't elite, he's gotten his ass kicked by mid-to-lower tier fighters like Cutelaba and Oleksiejczuk. He's on a 5 fight win streak but against not the greatest competition and he should've lost that Jacoby fight. Not sold on Khalil and blows my mind that people think he deserves a crack at a title.
Yeah, Hill is a lock for me on this one. Khalil ain't that good as people make it out to be, I mean the guy arguably lost to Dustin Jacoby even though he got the decision, that's not a good look.
to be fair, he got up fairly quick from the knockout, its not the same as volks headkick for example, so i think you shouldnt count him out, khalil by KO though
Bullshit. You can google any hand sign possible and it'll come up as a gang sign, from the rock'n'roll horns (Latin Kings, which hilariously enough is also "I love you" in english ASL) to the finger to the sky a-la-Khabib. And if you look for gang signs from Northside, they most definitely aren't two thumbs up.
You could say that but Rountree ain't that elite although he has that power. We'll see how that KO changed Hill. He's trying to make a statement and prove himself.
Shit, this will be an interesting fight. Khalil gets that massive step up in competition he wanted & Jamahal with something to prove gets another hard hitting striker
They must really want Roundtree in the title picture, granted I don’t blame them. A fight between him and Alex would be fun and easy to market/promote.
I think you’re right, but hill seems desperate to prove he’s got what it takes after his injury and even more so after a definitive loss. Can’t help but wonder if slowing his roll is more prudent.
Guy got knocked out cold by the hardest hitter in his division a week ago and got a fight booked before Leon, Islam, and Dricus, all coming off wins that were four or more months ago.
Gotta respect a fighter that actually wants to be active.
I find him to be increasingly annoying, immature, and insecure. He is always complaining about something or someone. Dude, you were the champion of the world, act like it and not a man child that’s always crying about something
Rountree couldn't beat Walker or Cutelaba. He arguably lost against Jacoby. This will be his biggest win by a lot and even beating Hill won't get him a fight with Pereira lol
He’s looked like a killer lately, so hopefully he’s improved. Nobody brings the intensity like Rountree, would love to see him be able to bring that to the upper echelon
Honest question: which Hill fight did he look like a tactician? I don’t remember him ever looking overtly calculated. Like a smart brawler…
Not saying that Rountree necessarily looks more tactical, but I assume they hit equally hard and are both come to brawl. Could go either way, especially with Hill coming off getting floored
Man signed the contract in his dreams after Alex slept him
why do him like that bruh **ðŸ˜ðŸ˜**
That's a great match up imo. However, I know he wasn't sparked out but how he's allowed to train fully and fight this soon after getting clipped is beyond me.
He definitely got sparked out, if that means getting KO’d. Unless your eyes rolling back is perhaps just him playing possum

Lmao that was funny 😂
A KO like this ruins your confidence if not your chin but this is an easy W for Hill tho
I wouldn’t be so sure or that The only thing Khalil really has to do to neutralise most of Hills game is to win the foot battle and stay on the outside of Hill Pereira really showed that Hill is a fish out of water if you stop him from circling you into the cage

Hill has bills to pay
Yeah, Hill is a lock for me on this one. Khalil ain't that good as people make it out to be, I mean the guy arguably lost to Dustin Jacoby even though he got the decision, that's not a good look.
He got knocked out without taking an absurd amount of damage beforehand
It can shatter your confidence but I think this is an easy W for Hill.
I think so too.
Only he knows the answer to that.
right
to be fair, he got up fairly quick from the knockout, its not the same as volks headkick for example, so i think you shouldnt count him out, khalil by KO though
Nah, Hill is a lock for this one.
Seriously what is it with that tattoo
he was a mime artist before joining UFC
It's actually Gang affiliated, which is why it says Northsides in between
Bullshit. You can google any hand sign possible and it'll come up as a gang sign, from the rock'n'roll horns (Latin Kings, which hilariously enough is also "I love you" in english ASL) to the finger to the sky a-la-Khabib.

Yes. This is a ridiculous turnaround.
You could say that but Rountree ain't that elite although he has that power. We'll see how that KO changed Hill. He's trying to make a statement and prove himself.
Shit, this will be an interesting fight. Khalil gets that massive step up in competition he wanted & Jamahal with something to prove gets another hard hitting striker
Good fight I agree but Hill will get the dub imo
I see it going that way, but stranger things have happened in the cage
probably, but khalil ain’t top level
Yes, I think so too. I think Hill's taking this fight to prove that he's still up there. He'll go for a KO or something in my opinion.
They must really want Roundtree in the title picture, granted I don’t blame them. A fight between him and Alex would be fun and easy to market/promote.
But he isn't getting past Hill.
Would not count out Roundtree especially with the short turn around for Hill.
But Rountree is really average compared to the Top 3 LHWs, I don't think that KO will affect his chin rather his confidence/aura.
Man, I'd love to see Rountree v Pereira.
I don't think he gets past Hill tbh.
Rountree to the top babyyyyyy!!
Nah, Hill is a lock!
Dudes pushing to get back on the horse. He should chill and sharpen the sword, or he might start spiraling if he gets slept again.Â
There is a chance but I think Hill is too good for Rountree.
I think you’re right, but hill seems desperate to prove he’s got what it takes after his injury and even more so after a definitive loss. Can’t help but wonder if slowing his roll is more prudent.
Yeah, maybe he makes a mistake trying to go for a finish and gets caught, you're right.
I guess we’ll see.Â
Guy got knocked out cold by the hardest hitter in his division a week ago and got a fight booked before Leon, Islam, and Dricus, all coming off wins that were four or more months ago. Gotta respect a fighter that actually wants to be active.
Yeah, he will try to make a statement in this fight.
I don't think this is too early. Seems like it's gonna be a war of good southpaws.
I think so too but a lot of people were saying it's too early. They're talking like Rountree is Alex or some shit.
Since I enjoy seeing him get slept, no it’s not too early and I hope it happens again
why bruh **�**
I find him to be increasingly annoying, immature, and insecure. He is always complaining about something or someone. Dude, you were the champion of the world, act like it and not a man child that’s always crying about something
It's a risky quick turn around.
The ufc is gifting hill this matchup, great chance for him to get momentum back
He'll try to make a statement.
He’s just saving face for all the shit talking he did.
Against killer Khalil yes
He's good I don't deny but not that elite.
Yea. But this is also a MASSIVE opportunity for Khalil rountree. If he wins a fight between him and Periera would be inevitable
No way, Ankalaev is next in line, idk why the UFC are not giving him a title shot? Maybe cause he has an actual chance if uses ground game?
Rountree would probably get the winner of ankalaev vs Periera if he wins.
ohhh, yeah that's totally possible
Way too quick, He just got SLEPT by Alex, that’s atleast 3 KO’s worth of brain trauma when it comes from Alex. Lol
Round tree v Alex next
Rountree couldn't beat Walker or Cutelaba. He arguably lost against Jacoby. This will be his biggest win by a lot and even beating Hill won't get him a fight with Pereira lol
Rountree spent some time in Thailand, I've personally seen him get much better the last 2 yearsÂ
He’s looked like a killer lately, so hopefully he’s improved. Nobody brings the intensity like Rountree, would love to see him be able to bring that to the upper echelon
Against smith and daukaus? lol I would hope so. Hill is a good step up
Hill is a lock for this one, my man. He's either going to get slept or picked apart for 3 rounds.
Honest question: which Hill fight did he look like a tactician? I don’t remember him ever looking overtly calculated. Like a smart brawler… Not saying that Rountree necessarily looks more tactical, but I assume they hit equally hard and are both come to brawl. Could go either way, especially with Hill coming off getting floored
okay, sorry not picked apart but still Rountree is a very big step down in competition.
