Khalil Rountree has responded to all the critics who are speaking out against his bout with UFC bantamweight champion Alex Pereira.
"I don't think it's terrible for the sport. It's terrific for the sport. I think the fans are going to be one hundred percent excited about this fight as a result. You have a guy like me and you have a guy like Alex - we're going to go head-to-head. It's going to be entertaining and everyone's going to enjoy it in the end. I'm grateful to the UFC for this opportunity. Everyone else, no matter how negative your opinions are, if you're not excited about this fight, you probably have some issues. I don't think it's the matchmakers or the organization that's the problem. If you have a problem with that, I think the problem is you."
