Khalil Rountree JR got the chance of redemption by one of his former enemies while looking at the Octagon.
The last time Khalil Rountree JR entered the Octagon was last October when he intervened to try to deduct Alex Pereira.
Although he fell short, Rountree JR and Pereira have set up a Foty Competent, and 'War Horse' proved himself and the fans that he is able to hang with the best in the 205LB division.
A few months away from his fight, Rountree JR showed his permanent battle scars and now he wants to return to the Octagon.

Ion Cutelaba offers Khalil rountree Jr A Rematch Na Schok UFC Seattle Win
While he was looking for his return to the cage, Rountree JR was called by Carlos Ulberg at the end of last year after the impressive victory of Ulberg over Volkan Uzdemir.
The recent Challenger title was not only called by 'Black Jag', but has now received the chance of redemption by his former enemy, Ion Cutelaba.
Cutelaba achieved a large upset victory on Ibo Aslan in UFC Seattle last Saturday, and gave the Turk his first loss in the Octagon and after its second victory in a row, spoke about a possible rematch against 'War Horse'.
The first two met in 2019 and 'The Hulk' scored a first round finish on Rountree Jr.
“I am not f—— Make sure who is next, I have to fight against everyone, but I will give the chance to have a rematch split against me, he must show that he is better, so I will be the Give a chance, “said Cutelaba at the press conference after the fight.
Who could fight Khalil Rountree JR?
Although Cutelaba has won the 35-year-old victory, Rountree JR has continued with better things since his loss for the Moldavan and is currently ranked in the top 10, while Cutelaba is still not.
Rountree JR will probably somehow hope to go back to title conflicts in one way or another and there are different matchups for him that are more logical.
One is a fight against former champion, Jamahal Hill. The two were originally planned to fight each other on UFC 303, but Rountree JR was temporarily suspended.
With both light heavyweights from losses, this can be the perfect timing for those to regulate that fight.
