After struggling a brutal first-round knockout towards Alex Pereira at UFC 300, former 205-pound titleholder Jamahal Hill needed to run it again with ‘Poatan’ on the UFC Efficiency Institute.
Forward of the UFC’s last pay-per-view occasion of 2024, video footage of Hill attempting to begin sh*t with Pereira on the PI shortly went viral. Within the clip, which you’ll be able to see under, Hill approached the reigning gentle heavyweight champion and began speaking trash, prompting Pereira to throw a pair of gloves at him and problem Hill to get contained in the cage.
In fact, Hill declined to take action.
Wanting again on the incident throughout a latest reunion with Daniel Cormier, former NFL security Ryan Clark was fast to remind ‘Sweet Dreams’ what occurred the final time he tried to throw palms with the Brazilian boogeyman.
“You know Jamahal Hill acting like he want to throw hands but he don’t really throw hands, cuz the last time he threw hands his hands wasn’t throwing like they were supposed to be, but Alex’s was,” Clark mentioned.
Jamahal Hill faces Jiri Prochazka in his Return to the Octagon at UFC 311
Whereas Jamahal Hill is a former gentle heavyweight titleholder, the Michigan native solely holds one victory over a top-10 opponent. That being Johnny Walker who at present sits within the No. 10 spot within the division.
He’ll look to vary that on January 18 when he returns to the Octagon for a conflict with ex-champion Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311 in Los Angeles.
Will probably be Hill’s first time competing since struggling the quick-fire KO towards Pereira in April.
