"Yardbarker": "Hill vs Rountree in Baku is a great opportunity to start the summer"

"The main fight of the UFC tournament in Baku – the meeting between Jamaal Hill and Khalil Rountree – is one of the most anticipated fights of the summer season."

İdman.biz reports that the famous sports portal "Yardbarker" wrote this.

The site wrote that UFC will come to Baku, Azerbaijan for the first time on June 21, and fans will greatly enjoy the main fight of the night: "The main fight of the UFC night will be in the light heavyweight division. Here Jamaal Hill and Khalil Rountree will face off. This fight was supposed to happen earlier - they were supposed to fight on April 26 in Kansas City. However, after Hill withdrew due to injury, the fight was postponed to June 21 and will be the main fight of the event. The fight between these two fighters, which was planned last summer, was also canceled – at that time, Hill was removed from the competition for accidentally taking a banned substance."

Hill last fought in January at UFC 311 and lost to Jiri Prochazka by knockout in the third round. Rountree lost to Alex Pereira (MMA 12-3, UFC 9-2) in the light heavyweight title fight last October: "If nothing unexpected happens, the third scheduled fight will take place in two weeks and this fight will be a great opportunity to start the summer interestingly."
