UFC Fight Night 260 will take place on June 21 at Baku Crystal Hall

The organizers have already announced several fights that are expected to take place at the tournament. In the light heavyweight division, viewers will see a fight between Jamaal Hill and Khalil Rountree. As of 2025, Hill has a professional record of 12 wins and 3 losses, and is rightfully nicknamed “Sweet Dreams” for his ability to knock out opponents. Having started training in martial arts at the age of 19, Hill quickly gained popularity when he appeared on the amateur MMA scene. Having decided to turn pro in 2017, he has achieved the UFC championship title in just five years.

His opponent, Khalil Rountree, also poses a serious threat. Known as “War Horse,” Rountree ranks third in the UFC all-time in knockouts in the light heavyweight division with seven wins. He was small and overweight as a child, but after watching a TV show about MMA fighters, he decided to change his life and take up sports. Six years after starting training, Rountree reached the finals of The Ultimate Fighter, which opened the door for him to the UFC. In 2017, he scored a stunning victory over Paul Craig at UFC Fight Night: Nelson vs. Ponzinibbio. Outside of sports, Rountree enjoys music and dancing, and is a fan of the band Village People. When he is not training, he can be seen with his dog Bruce. His fighting style sets him apart from other fighters and inspires many to follow their dreams. Rountree has become a role model for many young African-Americans and has amassed a huge following both online and offline.

Visiting UFC Fight Night 260 is a unique opportunity to witness fights between the best MMA fighters of different weight classes and enjoy the atmosphere of an unforgettable event.
