Khalil Rountree wanted to leave no doubt in Jamahal Hill’s head that he was the superior fighter between the two fighters. He definitely accomplished that. As he was able to score multiple takedowns while causing some real damage on Hill’s and leg with some very effective kicks as Rountree coasted to an easier than expected victory in the main event for UFC Baku.
The judges ultimately scored the fight 49-46, 50-45 and 50-45. Rountree looked fantastic and showed that he deserves consideration for another title shot. Alex Pereira might just get the nod ahead of Rountree since he owns a win over Rountree.
