A fighter who has turned his career around in the light-heavyweight division. Meet Khalil Rountree Jr. , also known as 'The War Horse'. He faced a setback when he was banned for consuming a banned substance unintentionally, which forced him to withdraw from a fight against Jamahal Hill at UFC 303. Fans are curious about his religious beliefs, but he keeps a low profile and hasn't shared much.
Khalil is preparing for a big challenge—a fight against Alex Pereira at UFC 307. He posted a training montage on social media with the caption 'church', and the song 'God Put a Smile Upon Your Face' by Coldplay playing in the background. This has led to speculation about his religion, but there's no concrete evidence. Some think he might be Christian due to the song choice, while others suggest he could be Muslim because of his first name. Adding to the mystery, he shared a picture from his wedding in a temple in Thailand. Khalil's journey hasn't been easy. He lost his father at a young age and faced weight issues before discovering Muay Thai, which changed his life. Now, he's ready for the UFC 307 fight against Pereira. Despite many thinking it will be an easy win for Pereira, Khalil has shown impressive form in recent fights, leaving fans wondering if he can pull off a surprise victory.
