winner winner standing by with John
backstage let's hear from Khalil
Roundtree Jr
thanks guys khil congratulations on five
dominant rounds now you had to wait one
year to get in the octagon with Jamar
Hill how satisfying is it now that you
got that victory oh yeah it's definitely
it's very satisfying um yeah I'm glad
that one's out of the way and um yeah
it feels good
i could use a lot of adjectives to
describe that i think dominant patient
and efficient definitely come to mind
what was the plan going into the fights
be dominant be patient be efficient no I
Well you you succeeded that was like
pretty much like the the the exact game
plan um be um be focused
um be patient and um yeah and be
dominant like when when the time came
and that was Yeah what was it about your
last fight with Peda that influenced
tonight's i didn't take like it I came
out really hard in the fourth round
against Pereira
not really being in the moment and
realizing that I was like up two rounds
you know and I think had I been a little
smarter in that fourth round and stepped
back a little bit just like I did in
this one like realize like okay I'm up i
can create some space i can re-evaluate
i can reattack whenever I'm ready to go
um then that fight could have played out
a little differently you know so uh that
was one of the mistakes that I saw in
the Pereira fight that I that I
corrected in this fight uh very quickly
I did notice some interesting
interactions between you and Jamal after
the fight can you just let us in on what
was going on there uh I guess it was
just like a um clearing off of just like
misunderstandings you know there's been
like a little bit of just like unnown
tension between the both of us for like
really not a specific reason i just
think that like I created a little bit
of distance just to avoid any like what
happened at weigh-ins you know what I
mean cuz that like nobody wants to be I
guess disrespected so knowing his online
personality when I'd see him in person
I'm like create distance because I don't
want to I don't want that in my personal
space so it was just a clearing off of
that and yeah I know you've enjoyed your
time here in Baku so I'm going to let
you go and enjoy those celebrations
congratulations on a dominant
performance and we look forward to
seeing what's next
