UFC star Khalil Rountree has said he felt happiness and excitement in the midst of his title fight against Alex Pereira back at UFC 307.

Earlier this year, Khalil Rountree dared to be great. He stood opposite Alex Pereira and gave him everything that he had, and on more than one occasion, he really showed ‘Poatan’ that he could hang with the best in the world at light heavyweight.

Unfortunately for Khalil Rountree, it wasn’t quite enough, and he wound up getting finished by the Brazilian champion in what was easily one of the most entertaining UFC title fights of the year.
