This is the live blog for Jamahal Hill vs. Khalil Rountree Jr., the light heavyweight main event for Saturday’s UFC Baku fight card at Baku Crystal Hall in the promotion’s first visit to Azerbaijan.
Hill looks to bounce back from consecutive knockout losses to Alex Pereira and—most recently at UFC 311 in January—Jiri Prochazka. The former light heavyweight champion seeks his first win in over two years, that being a title-winning decision victory against Glover Teixeira at UFC 283 in January 2023. “Sweet Dreams” makes his 11th walk to the octagon.
Rountree competes for the first time in 2025. In his most recent outing, the 35-year-old was stopped by Pereira in his first championship bout at UFC 307 this past October in the fourth round. Prior to that, Rountree won five straight, including stoppage wins against Anthony Smith, Chris Daukaus, Karl Roberson, and Modestas Bukauskas.
