UFC two-division champion Alex Pereira solidified his status with a majestic win at UFC 303 in a rematch against Jiri Prochazka. In just a few years, he surpassed Jon Jones and Conor McGregor by becoming a two-division champion with two title defenses in eight UFC fights. His critics were impressed by the knockout, which made history in the UFC.

In the light of this monumental achievement, ranked #3 UFC light heavyweight contender, Jamahal Hill has transformed from a critic to a supporter of Alex Pereira. Initially, Hill took constant digs at Pereira after losing to him at UFC 300. However, things are now different.

Jamahal Hill is all praises for Alex Pereira

Despite their past rivalry, Jamahal Hill offered surprising praise for Alex Pereira in a recent YouTube video analyzing Pereira’s dominant performance against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 303. Hill highlighted the strategic adjustments Pereira made that ultimately led to Prochazka’s knockout. Furthermore, Hill stated that he was impressed by Poatan’s evolution as a fighter, praising Pereira’s flawless performance from the opening bell to the finish. Hill acknowledged Alex Pereira’s dominance, stating, “Absolutely dominant performance by Alex start to finish. I think this is honestly probably the first that I’ve seen where Alex came out and won the fight start until he got the finish.”

Jamahal Hill has harbored anger towards Alex Pereira since his defeat at UFC 300, frequently demanding a rematch. Through his YouTube channel, he claimed that Pereira took unfair advantage of the referee’s stoppage during their fight and vowed to knock out “Poatan” in a rematch. However, Hill’s recent change in behavior towards Pereira after UFC 303 has raised eyebrows among fans and MMA analysts. Following Pereira’s dominant performance, Hill promptly called out Pereira for a rematch.

Jamahal Hill calls out ‘Poatan”

It’s been three months since UFC 300, where Alex Pereira knocked out Jamahal Hill in their Light Heavyweight title fight, which was the main event. Since then, everyone has moved on except Jamahal Hill. Hill’s main target has been Pereira, with Hill regularly slamming him on social media.

Following his second successful light heavyweight title defense, in a post-fight interview, a reporter relayed Jamahal Hill’s statement on Alex Pereira, saying, “I’ll sleep the next guy and then we go again! Great win but we’re not done!” Pereira responded simply, “Okay.”

In his earlier allegations, Hill also highlighted a conversation between referee Herb Dean and Pereira following Poatan’s targeting of Hill’s lower body area during their fight. Hill accused Pereira of interfering with the referee’s decision.

Initially, Jamahal Hill was slated to participate in UFC 303, but a knee injury forced him to withdraw from the event. For those following Alex Pereira’s next career move, the question looms: should Pereira venture into the heavyweight division for a potential showdown with Jon Jones? Or should he stay in the light heavyweight division to settle any lingering rivalries first?
