"The recovery is good" - Fans react to Khalil Rountree Jr's snap of facial scars one month after Alex Pereira fight at UFC 307

MMA fans recently voiced their thoughts on how Khalil Rountree Jr.'s battle wounds look after almost a month of his encounter against Alex Pereira. Currently, his injuries may have healed. But his face still bears enough scars to showcase what kind of battle he had with Pereira.

Rountree showcased incredible resilience during his UFC 307 encounter against Pereira. Although he lost the fight in the fourth round, the Brazilian had to work a lot harder to achieve a victory.

'The War Horse' stopped fighting back in the fourth round primarily due to the insane amount of damage he had taken. While Pereira's last two title defense rivals, Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill, got floored by only a few of his strikes.

Rountree's resilience took a heavy toll on him as his face turned into a bloody mess. However, a recent tweet from @mma_orbit showcased that Rountree had recovered well from his injuries despite being scarred by his battle wounds.

Most fans decorated the replies section of the post with wholesome comments. One of them read:

"The recovery is good"

Others concurred:

"That's a tough image. Rountree's resilience is admirable. Hope he recovers fully."

"Well earned battle scars. Rountree made Alex work for it"

"I’ll never forget how good that fight was"
