Alex Pereira vs Khalil Rountree 

Alex Pereira

The Brazilian is a champion and number 2 in the P4P rating. He has a solid list of achievements in kickboxing, was a double Glory champion, and now defends his second belt in the UFC, having previously held the 84 kg belt. He has already collected 5 Performance of the Night awards.

Chances of winning: Alex is the favorite (1.16). His main assets are counter-work, short and very heavy side punches, a great sense of distance and, of course, timing. Pereira is noticeably more collected, attacks the lower tier perfectly, hitting the opponents' calves, and then goes for the head. Considering Rountree's sweeping style, "Poatan" can win precisely due to accuracy, meeting him with an unconventional side uppercut. And in this case, the role of number two can play into his hands.

Khalil Rountree

Rountree is ranked 8th, a bright representative of Muay Thai, who got into the UFC through the show The Ultimate Fighter, being among the finalists. In MMA, he did not hold titles of any organizations, but he ranks 3rd in the light heavyweights by the number of knockouts and knockdowns, and also took bonuses for his stunning finishes 4 times.

Chances of winning: Khalil is an underdog (5.46), as he has repeatedly lost fights to top opponents. He is currently on a series of 5 victories, in his last performance he finished Anthony Smith. Rountree Jr., a pronounced knockout artist, a southpaw, who acts serially and always strives to deliver only accented blows. He is famous for kicks to the body and stoppers to the knee. It is due to the actions of the first number, power, and combos at different levels that he has a chance to catch up with the champion, surprising everyone with another knockout.

Alex Pereira vs Khalil Rountree Prediction

Khalil won't have much time to spare, as he doesn't have the best cardio. They'll likely both smash each other's legs and body early on, after which Rountree will come forward with combinations that he finishes with a left hook.

And here, this amplitude blow will either find Pereira's head, or even before the moment of impact, Alex's side ones will do their job. Therefore, bets on Total less (3.5) by rounds, early end of the fight - "Yes" and even Total less (2.5) have excellent chances of success, taking into account the probable upset (we saw both participants of this fight in a knockout).
