Seriously lol dudes a great fighter to watch..plus he's completely humble and honest about the fight. His fight IQ is high. He'll be a problem if Alex goes to Heavyweight.
I wish we could see more of this. I've always wondered what fighters look like after a fight. Plus, I've been thinking about getting a septoplasty surgery. This has me second guessing it😂
@@Jakethemuss35 that's what we as fans love no excuses he was the better man that night unlike some fighters JAMAHAL Hill, cough cough. He should of never went that route. He lost so many fans be graceful in defeat. Lose and learn, not lose and make excuses.
how is this man so humble? he said nothing surprised him about the fight...acts like he won and does not admit defeat..and that he took huge damage...hes delusional
@@Fony_turgeson what? Did you even watch the video, He said Pereira's jab surprised him, among other things... And he admits that Pereira fought better and displayed high IQ... He may have lost the fight, but his spirit remains unbroken Your comment only makes sense if you're talking about hill
def not he lost bad how is this man so humble? he said nothing surprised him about the fight...acts like he won and does not admit defeat..and that he took huge damage...hes delusional
Respect to Khalil. Dude is a savage. That fight was so good and close enough that if he has a big win next fight, he might get a rematch. The ufc knows that rematch would sell ppvs and tix
Khalil got the respect of the whole world . What a heart. What a great champ he is. I am from Brazil and I can tell everybody here is going to cheer for him from now on . Vamos Khalil ! Khalil campeão.
Khalil is a role model. I've been through some struggles myself and the way he speaks with confidence and clarity, is amazing to watch. Thanks for the interview!
Man Khalil is setting himself up perfectly to slip into Alex’s spot when he leaves. A real man, being honest about the cardio and telling everyone it was the jab. That’s how a real man loses and wins at the same time. Same reason we love Alex, he takes his losses like a true man. We love Khalil!
I watched the whole fight live rooting for Pereira. I'm pretty sure this is the most nervous I have been as an Alex fan that he might lose, so much so that I was holding my breath throughout long portions of the fight. Both men fought incredibly and really deserve recognition for it. The main event saved 307. No disrespect to the undercard, Khalil and Alex just stole the show and put on a performance fans will never forget. Prayers 4 Khalil, I hope he can recover quickly and he continues to work like he has been. Saturday wasn't his day, but he is a top 5 LHW easily and in that respect he really cemented his place on Saturday. Keep up the good work and there's likely going to be more title opportunities in his future.
@@AirLancer I compare it to the TJ Dillashaw vs Sandhagen fight, where Sandhagen should have won, but Dillashaw just tried to control him with no real damage and ended up winning.
@@Mr-E. There definitely needs to be some changes to the rules. When there's a glaring flaw in the ruleset that allows fighters to engage in styles that are just harmful to the sport, the rules need to change, just like how the NBA added the shot clock to stop stalling.
@@AirLancer Agreed - They should bring back the yellow card from the Pride fighting days. Refs could give you a yellow card for stalling and it actually would take 10% of your winnings or purse.
Wow… he’s definitely a humble person… no excuses and giving credit to Alex on his heavy labs… Izzy would’ve said “it was the altitude and my cardio” 😂😂😂
Kalil is a hell of a dude. Tough, well spoken, gracious, and HUMBLE???? You don't see that in fighters very often these days. He had no excuses, just honest answers. He's def a new favorite guy to watch for me. Thanks Mr. Rountree! What a beast
Khalil should go up in the rankings even though he lost. He put in more work than the last 3 fights of Alex's, and both those guys were former champions. If Khalil keeps this up, I don't see why he couldn't fight for the belt again by mid or toward the end of next year.
Amazing Job Khalil, put on the best performance of your life, one of the best against a current Boss of the UFC and showed yourself you are who you believed you are and more. You Inspired the hell out o me
Heal up Khalil! Can’t wait to see your next fight I hope you get a pay bump after this performance cuz you deserve it. Your star is definitely shining brighter after showing that heart and coming close
I absolutely LOVE these striking/kickboxing style fights. That is so much better to watch than a grappling against a cage match. The UFC will give Khalil a lot of opportunities because of his heart and fighting style. Great interview Kevin.
It’s really cool for a fighter to explain and show the damage so people realize what is actually happening instead of people at home thinking they can handle it! Also he’s dressed like Buzz LightYear 🤣 he’s the man tho
Absolute stud. Khalil is a warrior. Wish this guy nothing but success. He’ll definitely beat top 5 in LHW. After that pereira fight they will seem easy.
I was already loving Khalil after listening to a few pre fight interviews last week, but after watching his gutsy performance in the octagon and how he’s conducted himself afterwards I’m now a big fan
So happy to see all the love for Khalil. I was a massive fan after watching the JRE episode with him. Just such a humble & down to earth dude who happens to be an absolute savage.
Khalil showed incredible heart and courage , even in defeat he showed a warriors respect to Alex zero excuses given , a true fighter unlike those who give every excuse in book , I am looking at you Mr Salty Hill.
My god, Khalil is an absolute warrior. Definitely one of the top dogs at 205 , wishing him a speedy recovery and looking forward to his next fight for sure.
Khalil just become one of my favorite fighters after this match. Not only for his performance but for his true warrior mindset and sportsmanship. Can’t wait to see him fighting again and then takin the belt when Alex is gone. He deserves everything!
What a Champ!! Khalil, you're a true warrior and a true champions of real life!! That is the posture of a real man and a future champion! "wasn't my cardio, was the damage that Alex caused". Man, RESPECT!!! That's the real deal, truth and with the truth you will evolve. Congratulations WARRIOR Rountree!
Khalil lost the fight but won the fans. This fight saved the card. Khalil gave Poutan a run for his money in the first 2 rounds. He has heart and skill. Can’t wait to see what he does in the future.
Class act! I am Brazilian and big fan of Poatan.. but Khalil is a beast man, humble, honest, down to earth.. what a stud! I cant wait to see him show Hill a "boring" fight.

I’m atheist but yur doing gods work brother!
@@Chairman-Joseph-Stalin😂
RESPEC! Here is wishing you all the best for your career in the UFC. Skills, sir.
That fight didn’t felt like watching ufc . It felt like watching mortal kombat
No joke.
That staredown made me fucking nervouse lol
TEST YOUR MIGHT
It did, Alex P, is like the final boss in a game :)
Relax.
Most fighters go into hiding after taking damage like that. He’s already doing interviews. He’s a wild man 😂
Seriously lol dudes a great fighter to watch..plus he's completely humble and honest about the fight. His fight IQ is high. He'll be a problem if Alex goes to Heavyweight.
He has nothing to be ashamed of.
There's nothing to hide from after that performance
Because he knew the outcome he just wanted the challenge
I wish we could see more of this. I've always wondered what fighters look like after a fight. Plus, I've been thinking about getting a septoplasty surgery. This has me second guessing it😂
Khalil stock goes up. Fan base goes up. I can only imagine his contract goes up too! What a stud!
Exactly. Cant wait for the return.
His contract won't go up. The mob runs it.
No it doesn't. He took a ton of damage and didn't win the title. It doesn't work that way in mma
He’s a cultist
@jake-qn3tl the ufc drives off popularity what are you talking about. They fast track anyone who brings the fans hahaha.
What a legend. Humble, honest and no excuses. Speedy recovery bro
@@Jakethemuss35 that's what we as fans love no excuses he was the better man that night unlike some fighters JAMAHAL Hill, cough cough. He should of never went that route. He lost so many fans be graceful in defeat. Lose and learn, not lose and make excuses.
Agreed man this guy is a warrior ❤
@jamesharty9938 couldn’t have said it any better. Khalil did his thing and I expect more to come from the guy
“Legend” is tough. Term is used too loosely nowadays.
@@jaybrack7272 have a cry mate
Khalil is the definition of a real man. No gas lighting no ego just a good human being
Khalil fights like how Sean Strickland talks
good human being (proceeds to kick a man to the shadow realm while he is down)
This what strickland thinks he is 😂
@@double383it’s a fight and a legal move.
@@Tverse3 Strickland is a freaking Psychopath
Khalil’s post-fight honesty and analysis is incredibly rare. Whatta G, man, seriously. Such a stand up-guy
if only hill could learn from him
how is this man so humble? he said nothing surprised him about the fight...acts like he won and does not admit defeat..and that he took huge damage...hes delusional
@@Fony_turgeson what? Did you even watch the video, He said Pereira's jab surprised him, among other things... And he admits that Pereira fought better and displayed high IQ...
He may have lost the fight, but his spirit remains unbroken
Your comment only makes sense if you're talking about hill
What a WARRIOR!!!!!! Incredible!!!! Big fan now!
This bloke is what every MMA athlete should aspire to be. Truly inspirational human being
He definitely won despite the loss. True Champ 🏆.
def not he lost bad how is this man so humble? he said nothing surprised him about the fight...acts like he won and does not admit defeat..and that he took huge damage...hes delusional
@@Fony_turgesonliterally everyone who watched that fight thought he put up a great performance, stop being a sad hater
@@Fony_turgeson You dint understand nothing about what he said
@@compass3309 yall just love the kcalb man. Admit it
@@Fony_turgeson You just a hater. You can't stand that he got something good out of it.

Congratulations, mr Rountree. What a fight! Greetings from Brazil.
Khalil you're a warrior brother, heal up and come back stronger 🙏🏼💪🏼
Khalil, I was not a fan but my friend you earned it!! Now a super fan of yours!!!
Thanks for this, Kev! And of course, thank you for everything, Khalil!!
wow. this has to be a first. respect man.
Im brazilian and Alex fan but i have nothing but respect for Khalil, bros a monster he went there like a warrior and can take a loss hes not like Hill
Exactly!
Oh man,how respectful he is.thank you Khalil,you won a lot of fans

Jan fight was way more nerve racking personally.
Idk, Bautista should get some disrespect fighting (or rather, not fighting) the way he did.

To put on a performance like that as a LHW at altitude is crazy, all heart
Wow… he’s definitely a humble person… no excuses and giving credit to Alex on his heavy labs… Izzy would’ve said “it was the altitude and my cardio” 😂😂😂
Lol can’t be more true
😭😭😭
“I slipped, my leg went dead, I was NEVER rocked”
Izzy always gave Alex Credit. There is a whole podcast after his first lost on flagrant where he did.
Kalil is a hell of a dude. Tough, well spoken, gracious, and HUMBLE???? You don't see that in fighters very often these days.
He had no excuses, just honest answers. He's def a new favorite guy to watch for me.
Thanks Mr. Rountree! What a beast
Kevin with another great interview!
He's been crushing it lately!
HELL YEAH
Khalil is a beast! He has a bright future in MMA! What a Stud!!
You are the man Kev ! Khalil your definitely the man too
I''m Brazillian and I can say Khalil has earned our respect and personally, my support. What a beautiful performance and fighting spirit.
how not to love this guy. true warrior. respect
wow what a great competitor makes no excuses, keeps it honest, and showed a great performance definitely must see fighter 👏
Khalil is a warrior and a honored man! No excuses, no bs. Just straight forward answers...
Respect --- no excuses
Khalil is the man. Thanks for the interview kev
Gained many fans with that performance absolute warrior
Khalil should go up in the rankings even though he lost. He put in more work than the last 3 fights of Alex's, and both those guys were former champions. If Khalil keeps this up, I don't see why he couldn't fight for the belt again by mid or toward the end of next year.
He won't go up rankings but he gets a top 5 guy next most definitely
@omegashenron8 I hope so, and I also hope his chin didn't get heavily eroded from the fight.
Amazing Job Khalil, put on the best performance of your life, one of the best against a current Boss of the UFC and showed yourself you are who you believed you are and more. You Inspired the hell out o me
LOVE YOU, KHALIL!!!!!! such a warrior
Heal up Khalil! Can’t wait to see your next fight I hope you get a pay bump after this performance cuz you deserve it. Your star is definitely shining brighter after showing that heart and coming close
This guy is the most humble fighter I've ever seen in my life..
I'm a huge fan now!!
Respect
So honest and respectable
I absolutely LOVE these striking/kickboxing style fights. That is so much better to watch than a grappling against a cage match. The UFC will give Khalil a lot of opportunities because of his heart and fighting style. Great interview Kevin.
So much respect for this man.
It’s really cool for a fighter to explain and show the damage so people realize what is actually happening instead of people at home thinking they can handle it!
Also he’s dressed like Buzz LightYear 🤣 he’s the man tho
Great content as usual. Thx for this Kevin and huge thanks to Khalil for this after this lost and surgery.
Great interview thanks Kevin, Khalil my brother, you are a warrior man respect.
Absolute stud. Khalil is a warrior. Wish this guy nothing but success. He’ll definitely beat top 5 in LHW. After that pereira fight they will seem easy.
