Hill: "Rowntree is not on my level."

Dmitriy Kel Oct. 19, 2024, 6:27 a.m.

Former UFC bantamweight champion Jamal Hill explained why he's not interested in a fight with Khalil Rountree.

"The way Pereira beat Khalil... First of all, he couldn't beat me like that. Secondly, I would have beaten Rountree like that from the beginning of the fight. I would have done the same thing to him even earlier. If anyone thinks Khalil is on my level, let's see him go out and win some fights first, because right now we're not even in the same category.

Khalil only got a title shot because he was an easy target for the champ. Right now he's ranked eighth and I'm in the top 5. Let him beat someone first," MMA Junkie quotes Hill as saying.
