UFC Fight Night 260 to be held in Baku in June

In Baku, on the picturesque coast of the Caspian Sea, there is a modern sports and concert complex known as Baku Crystal Hall. This majestic building with impressive architecture has become one of the main attractions of the capital of Azerbaijan. The country is confidently gaining a reputation as a popular venue for international competitions, such as Formula 1 stages and the CIS Games. In this context, UFC Fight Night 260 promises to be a significant event for the development of mixed martial arts in the region. 

The organizers of the tournament have already started selling tickets and strongly recommend not to postpone the purchase in order to guarantee the best seats in the Baku Crystal Hall. You can buy tickets for UFC Fight Night 260 right now on our website.

One of the main events of the tournament will be the anticipated light heavyweight fight between fighters known by the nicknames "Sweet Dreams" and "The War Horse". This fight promises to be one of the most exciting in the division due to the aggressive style and powerful strikes of both participants. Jamal Hill, known as "Sweet Dreams", has outstanding knockout power, although his last fight ended in a loss to Jiri Prochazka by technical knockout at UFC 311. Hill has 13 wins and 6 losses. He prefers to fight standing, demonstrating precise strikes and deceptively relaxed movements, which allows him to unexpectedly attack his opponent. However, his defense has been poor, especially after the loss to Prochazka.

Khalil Rountree Jr. is a dangerous opponent with a background in Muay Thai and kickboxing, gained while training in Thailand. He is known for his vicious kicks and southpaw stance, which makes it difficult for opponents to fight. With nine knockout wins entering September 2024, Rountree has proven himself to be a formidable opponent. His five-fight winning streak includes knockouts over the likes of Anthony Smith and Karl Roberson.

In the upcoming fight, Hill will look to use his speed and mobility to evade Rountree’s attacks and land accurate counters. At the same time, Rountree will look to close the distance and unleash powerful punches in an attempt to finish the fight early. The battle between these two flamboyant strikers will show who can better adapt to the situation and remain cool under pressure. Buy UFC Fight Night 260 tickets now!
