On June 21, 2025, in Baku, at the Baku Crystal Hall arena, the UFC Fight Night 260 tournament will be held

The Baku Crystal Hall Arena, known for its unique architecture and capacity, will provide ideal conditions for holding such a large-scale event. The organizers of the tournament carefully select a fight card, including both rising stars and experienced UFC fighters from different weight categories. The main fight will feature Jamal Hill and Khalil Rountree from the middle heavyweight category. The main intrigue is whether Rountree will be able to finish the fight by knockout in the first rounds or Hill will win thanks to his skill and endurance. Jamal "Sweet Dreams" Hill previously held the UFC light heavyweight title, but was forced to give it up due to an Achilles tendon injury. He is also a fan of Floyd Mayweather and has trained in his gym more than once.

Khalil "War Horse" Rountree is known for his power and aggression in the octagon. His path to success began with the fight against excess weight: at one time he weighed more than 140 kg and was fond of fast food, but later he devoted himself to sports and changed significantly. Training with Wanderlei Silva, he got on the show "The Ultimate Fighter", where he showed himself brilliantly and grew up to the UFC. Despite alternating victories and defeats, Rountree was able to win five victories in a row before the final whistle.

In addition to the main fights, viewers will see several preliminary fights, where young fighters will demonstrate their skills and potential.

Another intriguing fight is between Chechen fighter Ismail Naurdiev and South Korean Yun Yong Park Kyoji. Both athletes have their own unique style: Naurdiev is known for his aggressive fighting style and powerful strikes, often ending fights early. Park prefers a more tactical approach with an emphasis on wrestling and grappling. If Naurdiev can keep the fight standing, his chances of winning will increase; however, if Pak takes the fight to the ground, he can win with his wrestling skills.

Tickets for UFC Fight Night 260 in Baku are still available for purchase.
