Insider info
Dustin Jacoby favored — picked against Khalil Rountree Jr. lean UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Allen · October 26, 2022
strikinggreat
The read acknowledges Rountree's ceiling is the highest in the fight but says his level of engagement swings too much from one outing to the next to trust as a pick.
When Rountree shows up locked in, he's arguably the scarier fighter in this pairing — his striking took a major leap after training Muay Thai abroad, and he now combines real power with a violent, come-forward style that can end a fight fast, especially early against Jacoby. The issue is consistency: in some fights he brings that intensity, and in others he looks disengaged and passive, almost like a different fighter entirely. That unpredictability is the whole reason the pick goes the other way, even though the ceiling here is arguably the highest of anyone on this card.
