In June, the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, will host the UFC Fight Night 260 tournament.

The Baku Crystal Hall in the capital of Azerbaijan is an ultra-modern multifunctional complex for sports and concert events, located on the picturesque shore of the Caspian Sea. This architectural wonder impresses with its scale and shape, having become one of the symbols of Baku. Azerbaijan is actively gaining popularity as a venue for prestigious international events, such as Formula 1 races and the III CIS Games. UFC Fight Night 260 will be a significant event for the development of mixed martial arts in the region.

The organizers recommend purchasing tickets in advance to take the best seats at the UFC Fight Night 260 tournament at the Baku Crystal Hall. Tickets are available now on our website.

The main event of the evening will be the highly anticipated light heavyweight bout between Jamal “Sweet Dreams” Hill and Khalil “The War Horse” Rountree Jr. Both fighters are known for their aggressive fighting styles and powerful strikes. Hill, a possessor of knockout power, suffered a TKO loss to Jiri Prochazka in the third round at UFC 311 on January 21, 2025. He has a record of 13 wins and six losses. Hill displays an impressive striking technique based on precision and power, often ending in knockouts. He prefers to keep his distance, moving loosely and throwing punches with the occasional kick. While he avoids the ground game, his stand-up defense remains a weakness.

Khalil Rountree Jr. is an aggressive striking fighter, enhanced by his Muay Thai training in Thailand. He competes in the light heavyweight division of the UFC and is known for his vicious kicks and powerful striking. His southpaw stance makes him difficult for opponents. Since September 2024, Rountree has won nine fights by knockout. He has won his last five fights, including victories over Anthony Smith, Chris Daukaus, and Karl Roberson.

In this upcoming fight, Hill will look to use his speed and agility to evade Rountree's powerful attacks and land accurate counters. Rountree, on the other hand, will look to close the distance and unleash a series of powerful strikes with the goal of finishing the fight early. Constant pressure coupled with the ability to land clean strikes is usually the deciding factor for Rountree's victory. This promises to be a thrilling showdown between two striking masters, where success depends on each fighter's execution of their strategy and ability to keep their cool under pressure.
