Strickland: 'I can't imagine how Rowntree will handle Pereira'

Dmitriy Kel Sept. 29, 2024, 8:25 a.m.

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland admitted that he doesn't see intrigue in the upcoming fight between the promotion's welterweight division belt holder Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree.

"I just can't imagine Khalil handling him. I remember his fight with Anthony Smith. So I just can't imagine him beating him. I don't think Rountree has the skills in his arsenal that would make him win. Khalil won't send him to the knockout, he doesn't excel in the standup or wrestling. I think Alex will easily handle him," - quotes Strickland Sherdog.

Recall that the fight Pereira - Rountree will headline the UFC 307 tournament, which will take place on October 5 in Salt Lake City, USA.
