Apparently, Jamahal Hill is having difficulty forgetting Alex Pereira. In April, in Las Vegas (USA), the American had the chance to regain the light heavyweight (93 kg) title of the UFC, but ended up being knocked out by the champion in the first round. Now, the athlete will try to recover against Khalil Rountree, in June, but remains focused on the Brazilian.
So much so that Hill classifies a possible rematch against Alex Poatan as more important than winning the light heavyweight belt. Not surprisingly, ‘Sweet Dreams’ reinforces the desire to face the tormentor again at any cost.
It is worth noting that, before the fight took place, the American claimed to be levels above his rival and promised to knock him out in an impressive way, but he did not respond in action and succumbed to his power.
“For me, now, it’s not even about the belt, it’s about getting back to that fight against Alex. I want to fight him again. Just because of the narrative that surrounds it and everything. I know what I was feeling there. This is the fight I really want. I don’t care, all I know is that Jamahal Hill is in his future for sure again. Not give a damn about. If we have to do this at light heavyweight or heavyweight, he will have to see me again. This is the only fight that interests me for his future”, declared the athlete, in an interview with the YouTube channel ‘The Schmo’.
Jamahal Hill32 years old, is a former light heavyweight champion of the UFC. Currently, the American is third in the category ranking. ‘Sweet Dreams’ began its trajectory in MMA in 2017, he debuted in the organization in 2020 and built a record consisting of 12 wins, two defeats and one ‘no contest’ (no result). His main triumphs were over Glover Teixeira, Johnny Walker, Ovince Saint Preux and Thiago ‘Marreta’.
