Jamahal hill e Khalil rountree have a new date and a new place to meet in the octagon. The 'sons of Poatan' had to postpone their commitment that was supposed to take place on April 26th at UFC Kansas City because Hill would not be able to recover an injury in the leg in time. The organization, however, announced through social media this Friday (11) a new event that the two North Americans will lead.

After the cancellation of the fight between the two Americans in UFC Kansas City, the event at the end of this month will be headlined by duel between the brazilian Carlos Prates against the Irish Ian Machado Garry.
Currently 4th in the category ranking, Jamahal hill tries to recover after consecutive defeats to Poatan and Jiri Prochazka. Already Khalil rountree, ranked 7th, has not stepped into the octagon since losing to Alex in UFC 307, in October of last year.
