10 Sensational UFC Fights That You Can't Miss In September
4. Khalil Rountree Vs. Ion Cutelaba - UFC Fight Night: Hermansson Vs. Cannonier
Ever since fans got to see him compete on The Ultimate Fighter, most felt that Khalil Rountree was the epitome of a diamond in the rough. All he needed was a bit of polish in the right areas, and he'd be a force at light heavyweight. That being said, no-one could've his transformation from decent MMA fighter to Muay Thai wrecking machine coming.
Ever since he beat the living crap out of Eryk Anders over three rounds at UFC 236, there's been a lot of curiosity around Rountree's next bout. Seeing how impressed everyone was with him following that win, the UFC's matchmakers made the smart move of pitting him against heavy hitter, Ion Cutelaba.
The 25-year old from Moldova has shown that he's got the power to knock opponents clean out. Just look at his win over Henrique da Silva, who he managed to finish in 22 seconds. With a record of 11-2, he's certainly no joke, but neither is Eryk Anders and look what happened to him when he had to face the new and improved Rountree.
