Summary

The UFC octagon heads to Baku for the first time ever, and in the main event, former light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill faces recent title challenger Khalil Rountree in a high-stakes contest. With the 205-pound division in flux with new champ Magomed Ankalaev at the helm, could the winner get a title shot — and does Hill need a win on Saturday to stay in the title picture? Ahead of Saturday's UFC Baku Fight Night event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew preview the fight card, break down the Hill vs. Rountree main event, and discuss the stakes attached to the scheduled five-round contest. Additionally, they'll discuss the highly anticipated co-main event between Rafael Fiziev and Ignacio Bahamondes, what both fighters gain with a win, the rest of the main card slate, the low-key bangers, answer fan questions, and more!
