Rumors had been circulating for several days that Jamahal Hill had again suffered a leg injury and would not be able to adequately prepare for his fight with Khalil Rountree contracted for April 26.

The American commented on the removal of the fight with Hill from the card of the Kansas gala on his youtube channel.
– I just got off the phone with the UFC and unfortunately Jamahal Hill is injured and will not be able to fight in Kansas City. It looks like I am out of the gala and our fight will be postponed. I do not know when it would take place however, at the moment there is such a situation.

– I don’t know what his exact problem is, the UFC staff just told me that he has an injury and had to withdraw. That’s how it usually is, they don’t give us exact details about injuries to rivals. I hope that this juxtaposition will actually happen at another date. For me it is a very good duel, I want to fight it. I wish him a speedy recovery.
Khalil Rountree fought his last fight in October 2024. The American lost at UFC 307 to Alex Pereira via fourth-round knockout. Rountree is probably hoping that a win against Hill will allow him to quickly return to the welterweight belt competition.
