Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight championJamahal Hilland former title challenger Khalil Rountree finally lock horns at UFC Baku next month (June 21, 2025, from inside the Baku Crystal Hall, in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The pair of knockout artists were initially supposed to collide at UFC 303 last year and then again in the main event of UFC Kansas City last month.
Today, the promotion released the UFC Baku poster on social media. While the design has some cool elements, two random rectangular frames around the fighters’ names and faces throw it off.
Check it out below:

As is the case with every UFC poster, fight fans were critical of the poster, letting it be known on social media.

Bro they need to hire someone new or be more open to creativity. These posters are bland and just uninteresting

The poster might be meh, but the fight itself is awesome, and should be violent (and hostile?)
Hill (12-3) was finished most recently by Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311 (watch highlights), while Rountree (13-6) has been out of action since his four-round bloody title fight against Alex Pereiraat UFC 307 (watch highlights).
A win for either fighter will put them right back into the title picture, which is kind of strange right now.
