UFC Fight Night 260 will take place on June 21 at Baku Crystal Hall

The organizers have already announced some of the fights that will take place at the tournament. In the light heavyweight division, viewers will see a fight between Jamaal Hill and Khalil Rountree. As of 2025, Hill has 12 wins and 3 losses, which makes him a serious contender in MMA. His nickname "Sweet Dreams" is associated with his impressive ability to knock out opponents. Having started studying martial arts at the age of nineteen, he took a free aikido course with coach Chad Pomeroy, which became a turning point in his career. Hill turned professional in 2017 and won the UFC champion title five years later.

His opponent, Khalil Rountree, is also no less skilled. Known as "War Horse", he ranks third in the UFC light heavyweight division in knockouts with seven wins. As a child, Rountree was a fat boy without a father, but one day he saw a show about fighters on TV and decided to change his life and take up sports. Six years later, he made it to the final fight of “The Ultimate Fighter”, earning himself a place in the UFC. In 2017, Rountree scored an impressive victory over Paul Craig at the tournament “UFC Fight Night: Nelson vs. Ponzinibbio”. Outside of fighting, he enjoys music and dancing, especially the disco group “Village People”. When Khalil is not in the ring, he spends time with his pet Bruce. "War Horse"'s style sets him apart from other fighters, and his life's journey inspires many to follow their dreams.

UFC Fight Night 260 tickets provide a unique opportunity to see the fights of leading MMA athletes in various weight classes and become a part of this unforgettable event.
