Temporary suspension extended
Rountree had his temporary suspension extended by the Nevada Athletic Commission on Tuesday, Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rountree was removed from UFC 303 due to a positive test for a banned substance that came from a supplement service and was initially handed a two-month suspension, but that will be extended until a formal disciplinary hearing (or other type of conclusion) can be reached. Consider Rountree to be out indefinitely until further news on the issue surfaces.

Receives two-month suspension
Rountree accepted a two-month suspension Wednesday for his violation of UFC's anti-doping policy, Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rountree announced Monday that he would not be competing in UFC 303 due to his accidental consumption of a substance containing steroid hormones. The light heavyweight was upfront about his use of the supplement and compliant with UFC, which likely contributed to his manageable suspension. It is also noted that he could face additional sanctions from the Nevada Commission, though information about these has not been reported yet.

Out of UFC 303 bout
Rountree disclosed via his personal Instagram account that he would not be competing at UFC 303 due to accidentally consuming a banned substance.
ANALYSIS
Rountree had been using a supplement service that inadvertently provided him with a blended supplement containing the substance DHEA, a prohibited endrogenous steroid hormone precursor that's sold over the counter in many places. Rountree has been up front with the UFC's regulating bodies about his unintentional consumption of the substance, but it still appears his June 29 fight is off, and Jamahal Hill will be in search of a new opponent. If any suspension is handed down to Rountree, it will likely be short/reduced given the circumstances.

Scheduled against ex-champion
Rountree is scheduled to compete against Jamahal Hill in a light heavyweight fight at UFC 303 in Paradise on June 29, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Rountree has been on a roll since late-2021, having finished four of his last five opponents. Up next is Hill, a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion but one making a quick turnaround after losing his title fight via knockout to Alex Pereira at UFC 300. By defeating Hill, Rountree definitely becomes in the running for a championship match.

Easily secures fifth straight win
Rountree defeated Anthony Smith via TKO (punches) at 0:56 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Originally scheduled to face Azamat Murzakanov here, Rountree eagerly accepted a fight with Smith after Murzakanov was forced to withdraw due to pneumonia, and he responded with one of the biggest wins of his career. Truth be told, this was an easy win for Khalil. He was blessed with a massive power edge over Smith, and although Anthony was the one pushing forward the entire fight, Rountree was the one that was landing. Nothing Smith threw seemed to impact Khalil in any way, and it felt like only a matter of time until Rountree closed the show. The 33-year-old was wildly inconsistent early in his UFC run, but has found the range of late, winning five in a row dating back to September 2021. The latest of those victories would go on to earn him one of four $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening.
