'Sweet Dreams' is coming off two consecutive losses, having been defeated by Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka via KO and TKO, respectively.

During the media day interview before UFC Baku, a reporter asked Hill if losses to Pereira and Prochazka would impact his fight against Rountree. In response, he said:

"Will my loss to Alex [Pereira] and Jiri [Prochazka] affect this fight? How would it do that? Every fight is different. It's a new fight. So, that’s a weird question. That’s like a dorky online fan question."

Jamahal Hill gets honest about Khalil Rountree Jr. as opponent ahead of UFC Baku

Khalil Rountree Jr. was on a five-fight win streak since September 2021, which earned him a title shot against Alex Pereira in his last fight at UFC 307. However, Jamahal Hill has not acknowledged Rountree as a formidable and dangerous opponent despite the latter's recent performances.

In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Hill expressed his views on 'The War Horse', saying:

"I just don't see [Rountree Jr.] as on my level, even with the fights that he's put in... I haven't seen anything from anything that makes me think, 'This dude is on your level.' Is he dangerous to anybody? It's a fight. In a fight, anybody can land a shot, and that makes them dangerous and can change the fight. He has my respect in that regard, but to think skill-for-skill, he can match with me? I don't see it that way."
