Filed under: News , UFC , Videos LAS VEGAS – Khalil Rountree still mourns the loss of a fight with Gokhan Saki at UFC 219. Thinking about Saki being forced to withdraw from the pay-per-view event with an injury, Rountree doesn’t mince words about how he took the news. “It crushed me,” Rountree told MMAjunkie in advance of his FS1-televised fight with Michal Oleksiejczuk on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. “I was crushed. I felt like someone had taken everything away from me.” Although Rountree (6-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) is now scheduled to face Oleksiejczuk (12-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC), he hasn’t let go of the idea of fighting Saki (1-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC). The next time he walks to the octagon after UFC 219, Rountree wants the Turkish kickboxer to be standing opposite him
