Interestingly, Dana White’s announcement of increasing the bonus amount from $50000 to $300000 will have an impact on fighters’ earnings.

Jamahal Hill’s journey towards bonus is challenging, however, ‘Sweet Dreams’ has some unexpected support from certain fighters to win the bout.

Michael Venom Page is rooting for Hill’s victory

Jamahal Hill has a strong record of 13 victories and 1 loss in his MMA career, however, getting through Pereira would be tough considering the fact that he is one of the best in the current generation. The road is tough but according to UFC’s new star, ‘MVP’, Hill is winning the fight and getting the belt back.

“I’m going to give it to Jamahal Hill. I’m a fan of what Pereira’s done so far. I just don’t like when people try to just be the tough guy. …His style is, ‘I’m the tough guy, take shots, give shots.’ I class that as a 50-50 style. Win some, lose some,” said MVP on his YouTube handle.
