Chris Daukaus will seek new life at 205 pounds. After spending his entire professional MMA career as a heavyweight, Daukaus (12-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) makes his light heavyweight debut against Khalil Rountree (11-5 MMA, 7-5 UFC) at UFC 289 on June 10 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, per promotion officials. Daukaus, 33, will look to snap a three-fight losing skid after suffering knockout losses to Derrick Lewis, Curtis Blaydes, and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. Prior to that, the 33-year-old Philadelphia native was on a five-fight winning streak, which all came by knockout. Rountree, 33, is enjoying arguably his best octagon run. The “Ultimate Fighter 23” finalist has won his past three in a row – scoring back-to-back Round 2 TKO’s of Modestas Bukauskas and Karl Roberson, followed by a split decision over Dustin Jacoby this past October.
