Khalil Rountree JR could make a switch to Muay Thai, with a legend of the sport who revealed how their laps went.
'War Horse' loves 'the art of eight limbs', which spent a lot of time in Thailand, improving his craft to bring its striking level to the next level.
Therefore, with Brendan Schaub who claims that Rountree will never return to his best in MMA after his loss against Alex Pereira, the former World Title Challenger could consider changing disciplines at some point.
And if he ever followed that route, the American would have the support of a multiple world champion who was blown away by what he has seen in the gym.

Lyndon Knowles gives an insight into his spruce with Khalil Rountree prior to One Fight Night 30
On April 4, at One Fight Night 30, in a lumpine stage in Bangkok, Thailand, WBC Heavyweight Muay Thai King, Lyndon Knowles, will challenge Roman Kryklya for one championship throne.
To prepare for the game, he sparring in the United States with Khalil Rountree, who really made an impression on him with his skills.
In an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, the Englishman explained: “I am here in Vegas training with Khalil Rountree, it was incredible. It really helped me with the spruce because he is a professional in the small gloves.
“His Muay Thai is real there. I think he would really do well to just hit if he crossed Muay Thai; I think he would be incredible.
“I can see him hit with my brother pillows. It is really exciting to see, because I didn't think his Muay Thai would be as good as it was, but he doesn't even do it right. He's great.”
Lyndon Knowles had a crazy experience in the Ivory Coast
In his incredible journey, Knowles fought around the world, with a trip to the Ivory Coast to defend his WBC -Riem against Oly La machine that stands out as one of his greatest memories.
From the moment the warrior left the plane, he was provided by security, while the audience desperately tried to get photos with him.
Eventually he hit the hero of the birthplace with a brutal knee.
But as memorable as the event was, what happened after the competition had concluded, was even crazier.
Knowles recalled memories: “After I won, I have two WBC belts, we are back to the hotel on the highway and we are persuaded by two police with two machine guns in both hands.
“I didn't really know what was going on. None of us speaks a word of French, what the language they speak there is.
“They asked for our passports. We were told that we should not bring our passports anywhere, so we left them in the hotel and we had no money.
“Afterwards, all the guys told me that they might have had to go to the police station. That was crazy. I was too happy, not really paying attention, I just thought we were being pulled.”
