Rountree’s performance was obviously beautiful but we have to give ample respect to Anders.. the guy took an unbelievable beating where many times both DC and Joe thought it was over and the guy took it, got back up and kept fighting.. and that’s the definition of a true warrior and the heart of a lion.. “it’s not about how hard you can hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep going.”

I still remember that fight so well. That version of Khalid was so devastating, he was generating so much power with those leg kicks that it felt obvious that some of those leg kicks were among the hardest ever and Anders was in a weird way just as frightening because you learned that to finish him you must turn his lights off or choke him unconscious.

It looks good for the high weight class where there's no Thai fighter because none of them is big enough. But using the word 'best' is exaggeration.
Anders willing to fight back after 4 knock downs and vicious leg kicks was impressive too.
No one is talking about him
Ander has an unbreakable spirit, he's a monster of a man

Im not impressed
For those of you who don’t get it, Rountree had just recently started training at Tiger Muay Thai and came out in this fight in the Thai stance for the first time as the joke goes “Bangkok ready”
This isn't the guy from the bangkok ready joke. That was before this fight
Phuket ready more like it
@@mpforeverunlimited he didnt say that. he said "as the joke goes"
Bangkok ready nickname derived from Gerald Strebendt in his Josh Thompson fight the fact this casual left this uninformed comment now hundreds of people gonna think Bangkok ready came from Rountree performance
“For those who don’t get it” 😂mf you don’t even get it.
Rountree’s performance was obviously beautiful but we have to give ample respect to Anders.. the guy took an unbelievable beating where many times both DC and Joe thought it was over and the guy took it, got back up and kept fighting.. and that’s the definition of a true warrior and the heart of a lion.. “it’s not about how hard you can hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep going.”

Beautiful, principled Muay Thai. I don’t often see the Thai stance used in mma cause of the high guard and susceptibility to takedowns, so it warms my heart to see it represented so well

Charles Oliveira does it very well too, but also because of his high level BJJ he comes full force with the Muay Thai Stance

He can generate so much power in the lead leg
yea, and he mainly uses it for the kicking that makes it even more dangerous.
you can throw a roundhouse leg kick to sting or push, he chose to push with that lead leg
Because he’s right footed
@@onlybetasgetoffendedbystri8030 he can use either leg equally
He’s switch kicking
Early days Edson Barboza was the best display technique from a former pure Muay Thai fighter. He was picking people apart in stand-up. His spinning roundhouse kick finishes are the cleanest you'll ever see in the UFC.
Agreed. I was going to bring his name up as someone that has shown how devastating Muay Thai can be....especially when so much of the competition fails to train Muay Thai in any meaningful way. In these situations, you can almost walk right through your opponent. So many have no answer for it.
No way, Anderson Silva has best display of Muay Thai and he has the Championship belts and the record to prove it. He displayed it against great fighters. He trained at Chute Box academy which produced the greatest Muay Thai strikers to ever fight in the MMA.
shogun rua, anderson silva, kenny florian and dwyane ludwig are the prototype muay thai in ufc. shogun does that stance alot when he fought lyoto michida
@@bizee9119 he never once displayed it against a great fighter. He fought the best available and those guys were fucking schlubs

0:46 There was NO TELEGRAPH on that left hook. Holy smokes that was one of the cleanest displays of using a clean non-telegraphed hook. No shoulder protrusion, no overextending, just using the ball and socket joint to perfection
Telegraphing is irrelevant. It was a counter shot. He was in the middle of a combination.

It should've been stopped. Sorry ass ref.

i didn't see the fight. just these highlights. but it looks like rountree never went to finish on the ground. he kept the fight standing up
@@360.Tapestry yeah wtf was up with that. 5 times in the fight a bit of ground and pound would have ended it for sure.
@@360.Tapestry Roundtree is a joke for that. He doubted his ability to finish.
Khalil rountree spent 8 weeks in Thailand training before this fight amd took it on a last minute decision. He almost turned it down because he was low in confidence. This showing was just simply amazing
I still remember that fight so well. That version of Khalid was so devastating, he was generating so much power with those leg kicks that it felt obvious that some of those leg kicks were among the hardest ever and Anders was in a weird way just as frightening because you learned that to finish him you must turn his lights off or choke him unconscious. I don't remember him even wincing when Khalil would land but MAYBE I'm wrong although I'd bet I'm not.
It is called juice, hombre. Khalid guzzles it.
I actually trained as the same gym as him, and I told him how I plan on training in Thailand for 3 months. He was very genuine, and said more than training it helped develop him as a person. He’s a super cool guy ☺️
Wow that’s crazy I once trained with the rock, he pushed me to my limits but he’s very genuine

True, it was hard to watch this since I'm yearning for both
Not only displayed great Muay Thai. It displayed the other fighters heart also. You know he got that dawg in him. Mad respect. ✊🏽
Hope Rountree gets some recognition in his career. He's been fighting in the UF for so long and has put on some amazing performances, and it's crazy that he's gotten this far and still never gotten a real top 15 rank.

Im glad someone appreciates this fight as much as me. Thank you for the memorable upload! To me this is one of the most memorable fight moments in UFC history. Incredible display of pure and vicious Thai boxing.
Ever since he Oblique kicked Bukaskas he's been on a rampage. Sure that Oblique kick was nasty but the timing was a thing of beauty and this display of muy thai is something scary. Light nimble and doesn't burn the gas tank. Good stuff seeing Khalil grow at this point in his career
This was the best he ever looked. I don't know why he doesn't bring this energy every time.
Unreal toughness by Anders but it’s super cool to see Roundtree use that basic Muay Thai so effectively. His switch inside leg kick was on point!
I first seen him when he beat Saki. Was amazed how he did Anders like that. Me and my dad were jus in shock and awe that he was looking like that that night.
A best night shows up eventually

he doesn't fight like this anymore
Big respect for both fighters. Holy hell those were some heavy leg kicks.
Some of the most vicious leg kicks I have ever seen. Dear god. Anders is tough as shit for staying in there that long. He was getting those legs chopped the fuck up.
Glad someone said it! All due respect and props to Roundtree for this performance but can I get some epic respect put on Anders for toughing this one out? One of the most memorable "toughness" performances I've ever seen
Roll tide

Check out Melvin Manhoefs leg kicks against Robbie Lawler. Brutal.

The speed, accuracy, and power. Just wow.
Man much respect to rountree for not going in for a couple of those finishes. You can tell he was hoping the ref would maybe stop it.
One of my favorite performances was this fight. All he was missing was some clinch work and knees but other than that, beautiful display of Muay Thai. His fights after this were fun to watch too, Rountree is a savage in the octagon
Eddie Murphy has been putting in work 😂
Incredible technique and power - but I must also say that the opponent is a damn monster that he could take in so many of those perfectly landed heavy shots and still continue. Crazy stuff.
This is for sure the best display of heart from Anders too .. RESPECT !!!
For a man his size it looks pretty solid.
Wym by this
I remember watching this fight live. It was my first time seeing Rountree and I was so impressed by his form. Totally savage
Khalil is so underrated. I hope he can reach top 5.
Masterful. That knee to the body as Anders was slamming against the cage was beautiful.
What's amazing is that every fight he has a different style.. this was so amazing to watch back then too bad he didn't use this style in his next fights
Watching this fight live made my friends and I all instant fans of Rountree. It's a shame he couldn't follow up as impressively but this fight alone makes him worthy of respect
Yooo the dude taking all these insane shots is a gladiator. Any one of those punches or kicks would have concussed any normal person
That was savagely beautiful!
I was waiting for that knee a long time.. expecting also some good spinning and flying elbows… but he did very well destroying that lead leg, especially on the inside following up with left straight. Like to see more of him!
He split his stance more and put his body on a narrower angle, a lot more like a kickboxing stance then a muaythai stance. All his technique was straight Muay Thai and I love it
I come back now and then to see this masterpiece ! Its absolutly beautiful
Props to that man taking thst punishment and never giving up. People have no idea how much those shots will damage you and how easy it can be to give into that pain. Strong💪 mind and heart ❤
Anders is one hell of a tough fighter… he took a lot of damage in here, and got up/recovered from each knock down. He obviously lost, but I was surprised at how much damage he could take before being knocked out.
I think fiziev has the best muay thai
Stop
@@MarcuzVsHaters yes lol you dont become a coach at tiger muay thai being a bum
He has by a mile it khalil is really impressive for his size
@@madaxwayne you don’t become a legit fighter being a bum either.
IMHO Fiziev is the most underrated striker in the UFC. People might think he is popular enough by now, but considering the shit he consistently pulls in the octagon he should be a household name like Zabit or Petyr. I think fighting a top 5 guy could really cement him as a star in the most stacked UFC division.
I think the best part is the sportsmanship at the end
I remember seeing that fight and I was really impressed by Rountree - the upgrade in performance was definitely significant.
It was a great display of sportsmanship as well. He thought the guy was out a couple times and didn't jump on him. I'm glad it didn't come back to bite him. If that was his first time with the leg kicks, I think he just might have found something to keep in his arsenal lol. Those things were loud and clean
This performance put him on my map big time. I haven't seen him have such an amazing performance since, but I'm not sure if it's just that the competition is better or if this was just a really good time for him
both statements can be true
Rountree is such a savage when he's locked in. Love watching him fight
Khalil. Eastside Las Vegas, NV native 💯. Used to have rumbles on Bushkill Creek on the eastside right across the street from the high school. He was always a fighter
I saw this fight live and you could hear those leg kicks echo through the stadium. They sounded like loud slaps and I’ve never seen anything like that
That lead hook is so fast dayumm
Lovely. Crisp. Kicks. Bravo that's what I aspire to achieve.
The fact that guy was still standing and talking at the end and didnt even look wobbled, hes a soldier
Beautiful, beautiful striking

Anders showed the true meaning of 'heart of a warrior'. Rountree clearly won but man Anders impressed for damn sure.
Khalil came back from Thailand with a mission. What a performance. 😮
I felt every one of those leg kicks.
This is one of the best but honestly there’s a few fighters who come from straight up Muay Thai backgrounds and have many performance that are more Muay thai based. Every shevchenko fight is a Muay thai masterclass
Bangkok ready
I love how in the beginning, the commentators were acting like the Muay Thai thing was a joke. "Oh, lookit 'im standing in that Thai stance!" By the end, no one was laughing
The ref: if he dies, he dies
What’s impressive is the amount of power he is generating of the front foot without fully switch kicking. Working behind it like a jab
Yes you basically swing your entire leg into the kick and rely on the rebound of it landing to bring you back to your stance
@@JoshAllenberg the only issue is when the other person steps back causing you to miss. Then just end up swinging yourself around 😮
@@alejandroc7357 people rarely have the reaction time to evade an inside leg kick, especially those who haven't specifically trained in muay thai or dutch kickboxing
Pure enjoyment. Great video great fight!
Knocked out lionheart with the muay thai style too. Id say Smith is kinda on his way out the door anyway but Rountree really showcased his technique last night!
As far as strategy goes that was absolutely textbook. 💯 He chewed his legs up to kill his movement and then let the hands go. 👌🏻👍🏻
I think long knees are so under used in mma when people shoot for the legs all the time, especially when the opponent or yourself are being backed up against the cage
agreed
Risky move especially against great grapplers
You don't want to make long knees for takedown defense since only people bad at wrestling shoot before they can touch you. You'd basically give them a single.
