There’s no argument that Khalil Rountree Jr. should be the betting underdog heading into his title fight with UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira later this evening (Sat., Oct. 5, 2024) at UFC 307 live on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, but “War Horse” still feels “disrespected” that nobody expects him to win at all.

“terrible for the sport.”

“Guys that look at this and think that it’s going to be an easy fight for him, it’s almost like disrespectful. What do you not see in me? What am I not doing? Is it because you see me in interviews and I’m myself and I’m a nice guy that you think this guy who’s stone cold is gonna stone me? No.

“It’s gonna be nice to go in there and do this and get some respect on my name for sure”

What do you think, Maniacs? Is Rountree being disrespected heading into UFC 307 or is Pereira just that good?

Let’s hear it!
