Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree Jr. set to light up UFC 320 with possibly the most exciting game of the night. Interestingly, both men are coming off impressive wins over former champion Jamahal Hill, which underscores their readiness to return to title contention. Prochazka, The Czech Samurai, boasts an unpredictable, high-volume, and unorthodox striking style that has flustered nearly every opponent he's faced. His pace and durability overwhelm opponents, forcing them into mistakes more often than not.
While Rountree Jr. is a world-class Muay Thai expert with one-shot knockout power (something we saw in his win over Chris Daukaus), Prochazka’s overall durability and superior offensive stats give him the clear advantage. Prochazka holds a significant edge in reach, which is four inches to be exact. What’s more, he averages a much higher output with 5.74 significant strikes landed per minute compared to Rountree's 3.79.
The most recent fight for Prochazka was his TKO win over Jamahal Hill in January 2025. And that was a contest where his ability to absorb heavy shots and finish the fight late showed improved tactical patience. Khalil Rountree Jr. or The War Horse may possess the cleaner, more technical striking, but we think Prochazka’s relentless pressure and unconventional angles should eventually break through Rountree’s guard.

Jiri Prochazka - Khalil Rountree Jr.: Form Analysis
We admit that Jiri Prochazka's form has been volatile, but he’s also been ultimately effective, with three wins in his last five outings (all by way of stoppage). This includes his stunning KO victory over Aleksandar Rakic and his most recent bout, a third-round TKO win over Jamahal Hill at UFC 311 in January 2025.
This victory, where he showed composure before turning up the heat, reaffirmed his status after two title fight losses to Alex Pereira.
In fact, the only blemishes on Prochazka's record since 2020 are those two TKO losses to the current champion.
On the other hand, Khalil Rountree Jr. has been on a phenomenal run, winning six of his last seven fights. His momentum was briefly halted by a fourth-round TKO loss to Alex Pereira for the light heavyweight title at UFC 307 in October 2024.
However, The War Horse quickly bounced back with a dominant five-round unanimous decision win over Jamahal Hill in June 2025. Khalil Rountree Jr. has won six of his last seven fights, with four of those victories coming via knockout or TKO.
This recent dominant decision victory over a former champion shows a new level of fight IQ and stamina, evolving beyond his reputation as solely a first-round knockout artist. Both fighters are coming off important wins over the same opponent, establishing momentum heading into UFC 320.
