Former UFC light heavyweight Champion Jiří Prochazka of the Czech Republic collides with former light heavyweight title challenger Khalil Rountree Jr. in the main card of UFC 320 in what is shaping up to be an explosive prelude to the two Championship main events this weekend at the T-Mobile Arena. Both fighters have recently lost to Alex Pereira while also having defeated former Champion Jamahal Hill this year. Prochazka, who beat Glover Teixeira to clinch the light heavyweight strap in 2022, is the bookmakers' favorite to defeat American fighter Rountree Jr.

Jiří Prochazka vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. Fight Preview
Jiří Prochazka: form and statistics
The former Champion is 2-2 in his last four fights, losing two of those fights to Alex Pereira in light heavyweight championship contests. Jiří Prochazka won the 205-pound title in 2022 with a submission of veteran Glover Teixeira, but was stripped of the title when he could not defend due to injury. The aggressive and all-action fighter faced off with Pereira for the vacant title in late 2023, with the Brazilian claiming the title with a TKO. In between losses to Pereira, “BJP" has beaten Aleksandar Rakic and former Champ, Jamahal Hill, stopping Hill this January with a third-round TKO.

Khalil Rountree Jr.: form and statistics
The 35-year-old Khalil Rountree Jr. will face a former Light Heavyweight Champion in successive fights, having overcome Jamahal Hill last June at UFC on ABC. Rountree Jr. returned to the win column with a unanimous decision over Hill following an impressive outing against Alex Pereira in late 2024, when he took "Poatan" to round four and was ahead on the scorecards before the then-champion nailed him with punches. Before the loss, "The War Horse" had won five consecutive fights.

Jiří Prochazka vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. Fight Prediction
While attention will be focused on the main event of UFC 320, Jiří Prochazka and Khalil Rountree are the best light heavyweight contenders in the division, and the winner will be shunted into the conversation for another shot at gold. Both fighters lost to "Poatan" recently and also beat Jamahal Hill this year. We predict an explosive encounter that will not go the distance, as the man who gets a clean shot will secure the win. However, the fight will not end inside the first round. Bet on over 1.5.
