The UFC lightheavyweight title fight was nothing short of a bloodbath, Khalil Rountree Jr and Alex Pereira put on a spectacular show – most expected it to be a one-sided affair but Khalil Rountree had solid dominating moments that are simply not worth denying.
It was in the 4th round where Poatan’s strikes couldn’t be handled by Rountree and he failed to respond. Thus, the referee stopped the match and Alex Pereira was declared the winner by 4th round TKO. What’s next for the Poatan? He took the time to correct his statement and explain how he’s not willing to move down to middleweight anymore – he will focus on ruling the current division and progressively step into the land of heavyweights.
