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.
