Khalil Rountree Jr. Says Jamahal Hill Victory Restored His Confidence

Rountree credited his dominant win over ex-champion Hill in June in Baku as the moment that reaffirmed his status among the UFC’s best. “That fight showed I could hang with the division’s elite,” he said. The victory, coming after his title loss to Pereira, reestablished Rountree as a top light-heavyweight contender pushing toward a fight against #2-ranked Jiri Prochazka this weekend.
