Khalil Rountree’s WTF reaction to Ion Cutelaba’s Hulk roar is absolutely priceless

When you’re about face off against a guy who goes by the nickname “The Hulk,” you should be prepared for something to happen.

Khalil Rountree, however, clearly was not – and now I can’t stop laughing about it.

Rountree was first to hit the scale during the UFC on ESPN+ 18 ceremonial weigh-ins Friday. His opponent, the aforementioned “Hulk” Ion Cutelaba, was second. Cutelaba calmly paced toward Rountree for the faceoff, and it was all to set up a roar that Rountree clearly didn’t see coming.

His reaction – like “What the f*ck is wrong with this dude?” – was absolutely priceless. Check this out (via Twitter):

Here’s a tighter shot, too (via Instagram):

HILARIOUS.

Cutelaba and Rountree meet in a light heavyweight fight on Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 18 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
