Khalil Rountree and Health Awareness
On October 5th 2024, UFC Light Heavyweight champion [#1] Alex ‘Poatan’ Pereira will be defending his title against a 15-fight UFC veteran, [#8] Khalil Rountree Jr. Rountree had a somewhat rocky start to his UFC career; however he is currently on five-fight win streak with four finishes. While Khalil is an underdog in this fight, with the current odds having Pereira as -500 favorite, Rountree’s Muay Thai skills and power make him a dangerous opponent to even such a decorated striker as Poatan. It will be an uphill battle for Khalil, but I am hoping to see an entertaining stand-up fight while it lasts.
I think Khalil Rountree is a great Muay Thai fighter and wonderful mental health advocate and inspirational person. During a press conference, he opened up about how he had struggled with being depressed and overweight in the past. This hits hard to home for a lot of people in the United States and worldwide. He’s a very relatable individual to so many of us out there. With mental health illnesses still having a stigma, it’s impressive to see a public figure being so open and emotional on live TV, regarding his life struggles with depression and obesity.
The Different Styles of Muay Thai
So, in this article we are going to explain the different styles. Some are minor styles that are not used often, and some are the main styles that most people use.
1. Muay Mat: (Boxing Low-Kick Style)
Muay Mat is the most popular style for foreigners of Thailand to use and Thai people as well. You can use all the tools of Muay Thai in any situation but in Muay Mat the Nak Muay (fighter) uses good boxing skills as well as nasty low kicks as their main weapons and they use a full power looking for the KO if it is due to low kicks or KO punches.
UFC 307: Glory (Kickboxing) vs Muay Thai
Why did I choose Khalil as the ambassador for Muay Thai? He is married and got married in Thailand. He enjoys training at Tiger Muay Thai & MMA in Phuket. First, we have the Wai Kru, a dance that Khalil does. He does a much quicker version of the Wai Khru, as it is a big part of the muay Thai show. It is the dance, which may be similar to John Wayne Parr in which you pull out your invisible guns, much like the original John Wayne. This is where you can be a little creative or insert part of your personality. I noticed his last fight with Anthony Smith, he did a similar Wai Khru, which provides protection, shows honor and gives you heart.
If you want to see a Muay Thai clinic you should watch his fight with Eryk Anders. He nearly knocks him out via leg kicks with Anders falling due to them throughout the fight. Most of the Fight was spent, by Khalil, having Anders stand back up using the low kick to provide his victory.
Khalil would be considered more of a Muay Mat type fighter. It is normal for foreigners to take this style, as it is more based on boxing and ending combinations with low kicks or entering starting with the low kick to keep you confused about low and high attacks . This is the link to the actual fight, but it is a Muay Thai clinic without one answer.
When watching these fights, you can notice in the first minute, he is bringing his front leg light and puts most of the weight on the back foot. You can also see him target the low kick and moving into the second round he picks up the pace to try to finish the fight. This goes on for round two and three. Eryk Anders, comments that Anders should throw in the towel. Noticing how Khalil has a leg strong kicks and mid kick defense, he uses the shield he brings the leg up connects his knee to elbow to make the power disperse over a larger mass shows we need to keep a look for his defense coming up with Pereira every fighter says the leg kick is so hard. Which segues us into Alex Pereira.

Conor McGregor Wants Ten Fights in 2025 Though Fans Would Settle for Just One
Having failed to get back in the octagon in 2024, Conor McGregor has set a rather lofty goal for 2025, which is in keeping with his confident demeanor. The Irish fighter wants ten fights for the year, doing so after a December comeback was ruled out by UFC supremo Dana White.
It’s now more than three years since McGregor fought, breaking a leg during his July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier, and the two-time UFC Champion is clearly itching to get back to doing what he does best, namely pulling in the fans for his fights and more often than not, overcoming his opponents.
It had looked as if he would take on Michael Chandler in June, but a toe injury suffered by McGregor saw that clash canceled, and the 36-year-old clearly can’t wait to get back into the swing of things.
