The UFC is set to make his debut in Azerbaijan, because two top lights will collide heavyweights in the main event of their card in Baku.
The main event has two top light heavyweights in Jamahal Hill and Khalil Rountree JR, against each other on top of an impressive fighting card.
Hill vs. Rountree JR should take place in Kansas City in April, but was demolished because of an injury that was sustained by Hill in the structure.
The two top 10 ranked hunters will be looking for a potential title fight with Magomed Ankalaev in the future, although only one can win and the UFC Baku ranking can rise.

“The only time we had an interaction was it weird,” Hill explained. 'So I was in the [UFC PI]Entered the dressing room and I will say 'what' there is to everyone.
“And I walked into the dressing room and he is like:” Man, you really don't like it, right? ” … and I was like what?
“I had something like” I don't even know you, we didn't even have a conversation. “
“It is almost as if he has to build me up like this villain or this person he hates, what is fine with me, but when you start to set the energy of the UFC Staff and S -like we can't get together, or something will happen, you will not do -so what is the point of that? It's strange to me.”
