UFC 283 ended with Jamahal Hill getting his hand raised as the new UFC light heavyweight champion. The 31-year-old beat former champion Glover Teixeira from bell to bell over five rounds in one of the most dominant title fight wins in UFC history. ‘Sweet Dreams’ now occupies the previously vacant light heavyweight thrones with contenders like Jan Blachowicz, Magomed Ankalaev, and Jiří Procházka, all waiting for their shot at the title. However, according to some fans, another dangerous contender might have his eyes set on Hill after his recent feat.

Following the result of UFC 283, many fans believe that Teixeira’s teammate and current middleweight champion Alex Pereira will look to fight Hill for the light heavyweight title. A recent clip of a brief exchange between the two after UFC 283 is currently doing rounds on the internet and many fans are analyzing the meaning behind ‘Poatan’ glaring down the new champion.

Revenge stories often make for great plot lines in mixed martial arts rivalries. Based on the Pereira-Hill exchange, many fans predict that the former GLORY kickboxing champion will move up a weight class to avenge his teammate. To add more substance to these speculations, Teixeira himself revealed that the middleweight champion would look to move up to 205 lbs.

The 43-year-old retired after the title loss and said he would dedicate himself to training ‘Poatan’. Putting two and two together, fans believe an eventual showdown between Pereira and Hill is inevitable and that the protégé will look to avenge his mentor.
