- BIG Vs Small. MMA Vs Muay Thai. Khalil Rountree Jr. Vs Tay Matee. What happens when you put a UFC superstar in the ring with a professional Muay Thai fighter in the heart of Bangkok at the YOKKAO Training Center? THIS! Our good friend Khalil Rountree Jr. stops bye to train with the YOKKAO Fight Team as he travels Thailand on holiday. From bag work to pads, Tay Matee was more than happy to invite Khalil into the ring for a few back and forth rounds of play sparring. Changing up styles for UFC Light Heavyweight Khalil as he’s faced with the contrasting style in traditional Muay Thai. which he adapted to immediately, moulding himself into a Nak Muay in his won right. Being the far larger fighter even in the scorching Bangkok heat, Khalil kept things competitive and fluid through the two rounds of sparring, that would be fit for any Muay Thai stadium. As the final bell rings, Khalil comically falls to the canvas and both fighters reunite in the corner for some well needed rest and hydration. How do you think Khalil faired against Tay Matee? Let us know in the comments below!

Wish all heavy dudes knew how to spar like this. Total control.
I have not been a fan of Roundtree previously but seeing him sparr like this made me a fan. He is twice the other guys size and keeps it respectful. I know how it feels to spar with bigger dudes that just bully you. It is not fun.
Agreed dude😬
curious why you werent a fan?
I've sparred with him before, and he's the exact same in person. He's a cool dude.
@@foulelements thought of him as a hypocrite. Talks a big game about kindness and then completely murdered the Lithuanian guys knee. A while back. Then you are a bit of a psychopath. (Even if it is legal.)
he genuinely seems like one of the best/nicest people to have fought in the UFC. Been a fan for a long time and he has been training in Thailand for a while now. He might be the only UFC fighter that can block/check kicks lol. I see why Anderson Silva was such a fan of him
Khalil with the "Bangkok Ready" mode is scary
bro no one needs to type anything else about his thai beast comeback. this is it lol
Love the respect after Khalil drops him with the calf kick. Walks forward and lets Tay Matee work. That's the measure of a man right there.
GREAT spar!! In a gym, I’m always the little guy!! I’m always amazed at the weight difference in power from a 175-up guy/gals
Khalil doesn't stop training this is why he is on a roll, he looks sharp. And this was a good work
Ye..he's looking as sharp as a razorblade..Jemal Hill in trouble
Great control from the big guy
I know he's contracted to the UFC but I'd love to see Khalil in ONE muay thai
they need more fighters in the higher weight classes but I agree, would love to see him in ONE, he could do both MMA and Muay Thai it would be great
He's too big for ONE MT
Khalil is absolute unit makes this decent size Thai look like a boy.
Im thai but even if my thia nigka is the same size as khali he still get whooped by khali 😢
These guys are fast. The video almost looks like it's sped up. Amazing
My favorite UFC standup fighter. Definitely the most entertaining to watch when it comes to striking, especially at the higher weight classes.
As a thailandese im so peoud of khali that he make muaythai work in mma so many brutal ko in ufc and tuf 😇
This is why Khalils techniques are crisp. If you're not going full out yoh can spar like this all day and work on all the stuff you wanna take into the lab. Don't get me wrong there are benefits to intense sparring but dudes that go full out every day usually shorten their careers before they leave amatuers and go professional.
While this isn't entirely unique to this style, a big part of Muay Thai culture is focusing on light, technical sparring. The thing I was always taught when learning Muay Thai is "heavy not hard". This way, you can practice your moves with good technique and reasonable power that your partner is aware of, while also not trying to physically dominate them. This footage is a great display of that, big ups to Khalil and Tay 🔥🔥
Khalil check-hook is smooooooth! Awesome technical rounds
Awesome sparring
Epic sparring
Great spar
well controlled sparring as expected from pros
He looks so big and looked small in front of Anthony Smith. These fighters are crazy.. imagine Pereira in same division
People really don't understand how big 205ers are until you see them in person.
Rountree's just not as tall has the other guys but Khalil used to be over 300 pounds and turned most of the weight into muscle, but he's as big as anybody at light heavyweight and def one of the strongest.
Pereira is in the same division, hes the champ
good show! I know those big muscles were really burning a lot of energy against Matee who was non stop.
Love it
Khalil is a real nak muay
The teepe on that guy is a sniper shot
the leadoverhand at 3:07 is very nice!
Those Thai’s created the monster that Khalil is today.
Beautiful
Khalil in the cage vs out of cage very different
In the cage he is INTENSE
Outside he seems much calmer
Excelente 👏🏿
My goodness. Roundtree is FAST for his size.
Ye his speed is not far from Tay...and it's very obvious he's holding back ..most of these shots are probably 50% and lower
Would be so fun to spar a big dude this controlled
Here after Roundtree Vs Hill announced..
Checking out how bangkok ready his striking is..and hes there he looks sharp..fighting this faster smaller dudes will have him being way faster than Jemal..
My money on Khalil
คู่นี้เชิงสนุก
Get so used to seeing Rountree vs other larger 205ers like Walker or Smith that I forget just how massive the man is compared to "ordinary people".
i love tay matee giggling like a hyena the entire spar
good runs
👍
I can hear the tigers breath
🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙🤙💪💪💪
For anyone wondering … this man will be ufc champ one day . I’d start betting on him now
he wont
Seanchi woulda mashed that
Wishful thinking.
Senchai is a legend, more accomplished in Muay thai, probably faster but Khalil would maul him with his size, guy is really good, not just a big dude.
โดนเตะกลางลำตัวคือกูขาดครึ่ง ก้านคอทีหัวคงกระเดนไปแถวๆซาอุดิแน่นอน 😂
205 for half a day
ตัวอย่างใหญ่ แต่ โคตรเร็ว
roundtree moves like a 185er.. man i didnt know his muay thai was this high level im a fan now

Do the Thai's have to make that ridiculous noise the entire time?
