Khalil Rountree was made for the dog-eat-dog world of the Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight division.
“The War Horse” will look to improve his standing in the 205-pound weight class when he locks horns with former champion Jamahal Hill in the UFC on ABC 8 main event on June 21 at Baku Crystal Hall in Baku, Azerbaijan. The two men were originally scheduled to meet in April before a leg injury forced Hill to withdraw. Rountree, 35, has compiled a 9-6 record with one no contest across his 16 appearances inside the Octagon.
