So what's next for Rountree Jr.?

[TheWizard]

His 2 month suspension ended yesterday. He'll probably never be a genuine contender, but he's exciting to watch and can be in some great (striking) fights. So what should be next?

Call me crazy but I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC decided to do Pereira vs Rountree if Pereira wants a quick turn around again. It wouldn't make any sense, but they might snub Ankalaev (who 100% deserves the fight) to make a more exciting fight. Hill and Jiri just lost for the belt, Jan is still recovering from surgery, Krylov is nowhere to be found, Rakic and Walker just got KO'd.

Khalil vs Hill is the one for me, but if they go Jiri-Hill then I'd book Khalil vs Rakic.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Hill or Ulberg

Dude brings violence. Fun to watch when coming with mindset to bang.
Him vs Hill would be sweet.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

Dana needs to introduce the PCMF belt (People's Champion Mother Fucker belt) and let Khalil fight for it.

"Pereira vs Rountree" basically serves as engagement bait to rustle up the Anakalev fans, it's pure nonsense lol.

Yeah I agree it would be complete bullshit but I could see it happening lol. Pereira wants to fight in Perth in 6 weeks and if that happens, I'm not sure it will be Ankalaev on such short notice.

Rountree is the only LHW I think would be a fun fight with Pereira that would be new. Of course Ankalaev deserves it, but Rountree would stand with Pereira.

He definetely has a title shot in his future if he doesn't go on a losing spree. They can only feed Jiri to the dogs so many times.

I want Rountree Jr. vs Sr.

Rountree did stop Saki.

Rountree did stop Saki.

so Saki vs Poatan?

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Hill, Jiri or Ulberg.

Dude can't grappler for shit. Keep him fighting strikers.

 

[Harlekin]

Usually he flops against a guy he should beat. But let's see, maybe he is in his prime now.

 

[TheMadHatter]

id really like to see him and hill fight

 

[laleggenda27]

In a division that doesn't have any great grapplers, Roundtree absolutely can be a "genuine contender."

Re-book the Roundtree-Hill fight, assuming Hill isn't out for an extended period of time. If Hill's out, then give him Volkan. I would avoid Rakic--that fight has LnP written all over hit.
