While his loss is huge, he plans to channel his grief inside the octagon. The champion has already set his eyes on the next possible opponent.

Hill may fight Magomed Ankalaev next

While Hill had called out Jiri Prochazka for his next fight after his win over Teixeira, Prochazka is currently unavailable to fight because of his injury. Prochazka was injured in a training session and has been recovering since. While Prochazka recovers, Hill thinks Magomed Ankalaev is a worthy opponent. In a recent interview, Jamahal Hill expressed his wish of taking on Ankalaev.

Ankalaev, on the other side, was not happy with the decision he got against Jan Blachowicz. Ankalaev thought the split-draw decision had robbed him of a win.
