Khalil Rountree Is Not An Elite Fighter, Says Din Thomas
Throughout an interview with MMAJunkie.com, Din Thomas shared his brutally sincere evaluation of the place he feels Khalil Rountree stands within the UFC mild heavyweight division. Merely put, Thomas isn’t bought on Rountree being one of many high contenders at 205 kilos.
“I’m leaning in the direction of Jamahal Hill to knock out Khalil Rountree,” Thomas informed MMA Junkie. “The reason is, Khalil Rountree regarded unbelievable towards Alex Pereira, however that was his second, and generally fighters simply have that second after which they return to what they are surely. And I’m not saying Khalil Rountree isn’t a fantastic fighter. He’s a really harmful fighter, however I feel he rose to the event with Alex Pereira, after which we’re going to robotically assume that that’s his new customary.
“Me personally, I don’t essentially assume that’s his new customary. I feel he rose to the event, however I nonetheless suppose he’s an excellent and harmful fighter, however not an elite, world championship-level fighter. I feel Jamahal Hill as that means in him. He’s just a little bit longer. He’s bought instinctive boxing abilities. I feel he’s going to have the ability to contact up Khalil Rountree so long as he can keep away from the leg kicks.”
There may be some stress on Hill going into battle night time. “Candy Goals” has been stopped in back-to-back fights towards Pereira and Jiri Prochazka. A win for each males is essential of their bid to remain in title competition. The query stays, who will get their approach in Baku?
