Jamahal Hill vs Khalil rountree jr -prediction
- Harvey Leonard – Jamahal Hill
- Jordan Ellis – Jamahal Hill
- Jamie Theodosi – Rountree JR
The most important event of UFC Baku should be an exciting one, because the bloody elbow experts cannot agree about who will win.
Both Harvey and Ellis Back Hill to take the victory home. Hill is a former, light heavyweight champion that was forced to lose the title due to an injury, and builds his way back to Stelling.
A victory here would help him do that, although Jamie thinks his time was done, and Rountree JR will prove it in Baku.
Despite a recent loss for Alex Pereira, Rountree JR was on a five-fighter-winning series and he has a good chance of starting a new one by turning Hill at UFC Baku.

- Harvey Leonard – Rafael Fiziev

- Jamie Theodosi – Ignacio Bahamonds
It will be a proud home for Fiziev while fighting for the first time for the UFC in his home country.
The resident of Azerbaijan is supported by Harvey and Jordan to win the Co-Main event of the show, because he takes on an impressive 17-5 lightweight in Bahamonde's.
The crowd of the birth city may be enough to inspire him in the victory, but Fiziev is not in the best form that goes in this fight.
He is Winloos in his last three attacks, including a unanimous decision loss at UFC 313 to Justin Gaethje after returning from a knee injury.
This, in combination with the three-field profit reak from his Chilean opponent, is why Jamie has the trend against and predicted that Bahamondor's battle would win at UFC Baku.
