UFC Abu Dhabi 2026 will bring a fight to Etihad Arena in which one of the participants is clearly underrated. Khalil Rountree isn't just the former champion's "next opponent"; he's a fighter who has already defeated the division's elite and is capable of finishing a fight with one punch at any moment. When the UFC announced the main event of UFC Abu Dhabi for July 25, this is precisely what sparked the spectacle of real intrigue.
Rountree has 23 MMA bouts, winning 15, and is well-versed in the atmosphere of major UFC events. His knockout right hand is one of the most dangerous strikes in the division, and his unconventional movement makes him difficult to read. His latest loss to Prochazka, a third-round knockout at UFC 320, only adds to his motivation: the American left that fight with one desire—to come back and prove himself wrong.
Ankalaev, for his part, isn't one to underestimate his opponents. His fighting career was built on patience and meticulous preparation—that's precisely why he achieved the championship belt. In Abu Dhabi, on July 25, a test will take place for both: who of them will emerge from this fight with a ticket to the top 3 of the division?
