Rountree will face off against former champion Jamahal Hill in the main event of UFC Baku as he looks to bounce back from his title fight defeat to Alex Pereira with victory over a former champion.
It’s a big opportunity for Rountree against an elite-level opponent, and it all takes place on a big stage, with a large, raucous crowd expected in Baku on Saturday night.
