Known for being responsible for violently defeating Khalil rountree e Jamahal hill, Alex Poatán has shown that he has his eye on his former victims. Aware that the fighters will star UFC Kansas City On April 26, the Brazilian did not hesitate to guess who he thinks will leave with his arm raised, despite treating the confrontation as even.

“Difficult. Fifty-fifty there, but I think Khalil (wins). I think he is more technical, Jamahal is stronger, but Khalil is more technical, he knows how to defend himself better,” said Poatan in an interview with Ariel Helwani.
