Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill has shared his expectations for the fight against Khalil Rountree at the upcoming UFC tournament in Baku.
Idman.biz reports that their fight will take place on June 21 at the "Baku Crystal Hall."
MMA Junkie published some harsh statements from American Hill before the fight with his compatriot: "I don't want to be disrespectful, but I don't think he's on my level. He can hit hard, he never stops, he doesn't give up or back down. He's a complete fighter. But I haven't seen anything in his arsenal that makes me think he's on the same level as me.
Is he dangerous? Yes, this is a fight. Anyone can land a precise blow in a fight - this makes any athlete dangerous and can change the course of the fight. In this regard, he is worthy of respect.
But if we are talking about skills - I do not understand how Khalil and I can be compared. I'm not thinking about titles or ratings right now. This Saturday in Baku, I just want to go out and dominate Khalil Rountree."
It should be noted that the fight between Hill and Khalil Rountree in the light heavyweight division will be the main fight of the UFC tournament in Baku.
