In June, the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, will host the UFC Fight Night 260 tournament.

The Baku Crystal Hall in Baku is a modern and versatile complex designed to host sports and concert events, located on the picturesque coast of the Caspian Sea. This architectural landmark amazes with its scale and is one of the symbols of the Azerbaijani capital. Azerbaijan is increasingly becoming the center of international sporting events, such as Formula 1 races and the III CIS Games. UFC Fight Night 260 will be a significant event for the popularization of mixed martial arts in the region.

The organizers have already opened ticket sales for the upcoming tournament and recommend purchasing them in advance to secure the best seats in the Baku Crystal Hall. Tickets for UFC Fight Night 260 are available on our website and you can buy them right now.

In the light heavyweight division, we are expecting a long-awaited fight between fighters nicknamed "Sweet Dreams" and "The War Horse", which promises to be one of the most spectacular in the division. Both athletes are known for their aggression and powerful strikes. Jamal Hill, also known as "Sweet Dreams", has incredible knockout power. However, in his last fight on January 21, 2025, at the UFC 311 tournament, he lost to Jiri Prochazka by technical knockout in the third round in 3:01. His career has thirteen wins and six losses. Hill's style is characterized by precise strikes, which often end in knockouts. He prefers to keep his distance, using his mobility and speed, although his defense sometimes leaves much to be desired, as was proven in the fight with Prochazka. Hill also avoids ground fighting, preferring to trade punches standing up. He has not managed to land a single successful takedown during his time in the UFC.

Khalil Rountree Jr. is a dangerous opponent thanks to his aggressive striking and Muay Thai fundamentals. The American competes in the light heavyweight division of the UFC and trained in Thailand for some time, which helped him develop kickboxing and Muay Thai skills, which are key elements of his style. He is distinguished by his ferocious kicks, quick reactions, and powerful punches. Rountree is southpaw, which adds difficulty to his opponents. Since September 2024, nine of his wins have been by knockout. Jamal Hill last competed at UFC 311 this winter, where he was defeated by Jiri Prochazka by TKO in the third round. Rountree has 12 wins and three losses; He has won his last five fights, including victories over Anthony Smith, Chris Daukaus and Karl Roberson.

Hill will look to use his speed and agility to avoid Rountree’s powerful punches and land accurate counters. Rountree, on the other hand, will look to close the distance and unleash a flurry of powerful shots with the goal of finishing the fight early. Rountree’s constant pressure and ability to land clean strikes usually proves to be a formidable obstacle for opponents, often resulting in quick finishes. As such, Hill vs. Rountree promises to be an exciting matchup between two striking masters; victory will go to the one who executes his game plan better and stays cool under pressure.
