The Ultimate Fighting Championship made its debut in Azerbaijan with UFC Baku. The 12-fight card saw the return of former light heavyweight Jamahal Hill as he went up against recent title challenger Khalil Rountree. The card, which aired on ABC and ESPN+, also featured key fights in the lightweight and heavyweight divisions.
Here are five matches to make following UFC Baku.
Khalil Rountree vs. Carlos Ulberg
Rountree (14-6, 1 NC) bounced back nicely from losing his title fight against Alex Pereira. The 35-year-old’s diverse striking, especially his leg kicks, proved to be too much for Hill (12-4, 1 NC), who lost a unanimous decision.
