Wooden’s view on Rountree Jr
“The UFC, everyone knows, rankings and all that shit don’t imply something. It’s what the UFC desires,” Wooden instructed MMA Preventing. “It’s what the followers [want] or what they assume goes to promote. They’re going to experience the recent hand. Once more, that’s why O’Malley [got the Merab Dvalishvili rematch]. He was the most popular hand nonetheless left obtainable, nonetheless standing and prepared to do that.
“Khalil’s acquired a extremely popular hand proper now. I believe we go on the market [and win], it’s even hotter. I believe that’s an actual large risk we would get that subsequent shot.”
“Nobody likes to lose,” Wooden mentioned. “When you’re going to lose, the easiest way to lose was the best way that he misplaced to Pereira. We simply noticed [this after UFC 315], I believe Belal’s [Muhammad] inventory truly might need gone up for that loss [to Jack Della Maddalena]. He misplaced a belt in order that sucks for him, nobody desires to do this however he went out and confirmed some various things and had a banger of a battle with a man. So I believe you’ve acquired folks taking a look at him another way too.
“I believe typically simply going on the market and combating your ass off is simply pretty much as good in the event you’re in a position to have that nice efficiency. I believe you’ll see Khalil combating for the belt actual fast within the close to future.”
