Khalil Rountree (who I like), may be a contender for most undeserved title shot ever when he faces Alex Pereira at UFC 307.

 

[AA484]

Khalil Rountree (who I like), may be a contender for most undeserved title shot ever when he faces Alex Pereira at UFC 307.

I guess the reasoning is that Pereira has already beaten Blachowicz, Prochazka(x2), and Hill, and Ankalaev is already scheduled for a fight. Then again, why even go that far down the list of contenders to find Rountree, it's not like Pereira has been inactive, guy has fought more in the past year than most of the other champs combined. My guess is they want to get as many (exciting) defenses out of Pereira as possible before giving him a potentially difficult matchup in Ankalaev (or a Blachowicz rematch).

Khalil Rountree (who I like), may be a contender for most undeserved title shot ever when he faces Alex Pereira at UFC 307.

Well yeah, he just tested positive for three different juices and they only suspended him for two months. He's straight up cheating and they don't care, but the UFC is a fucking joke anyway.
