I guarantee you, that because he got that off of his chest in front of millions of people, at the post fight conference, the weight of the world is now off his shoulders and the next fight he will be a thousand times more clear-headed..

[@arenh6124]

Rountree story really is heartbreaking and to see where he is now is amazing heartwarming, win loose or draw the mma community needs to keep a hold of him 📈

[@that1guy899]

That's the truth! Not a lot of men will willingly pour out their heart to the point of crying on live TV the way he did and that alone is a huge testament to his strength of character!

ill always put khalil rountree's joe rogan podcast as one of my favourite ever.i remember corey anderson done one around the same time.but yeah since that podcast i always support him and im glad he got his win.

[@PPFComics]

Rountree is an inspiration.

[@that1guy899]

Khalils story about being over weight to getting to where he is now is incredible. I went from 175 to 285 after a hitting a semi truck head on and being in a hospital bed with very little to no exercise for 3 years and just now starting to get my weight and heath back on track. Only somebody that has really been through that, can truly understand the emotional/mental problems that cone with it. I hope to see him compete for a long time! 💪

[@dotsongray]

Khalil is so cool man
