UFC contender Jamahal Hill vows to put a mark on the light heavyweight roster after his suspension tenure gets over. That said, the 29-year-old kicked off his UFC career with back-to-back wins over Darko Stosic and Klidson Abreu.
However, he tested positive for marijuana in his latter competition, consequently conceding a six-month suspension from USADA. Hill’s suspension became a matter of great debate after several fighters declared their support for him.
USADA has always been strict with their fighters and drug laws, and Jamahal’s situation is a prime example of that. Yet, the American fighter did his best to explain the situation to fans on social media.

That said, a hiatus of six months is not going to change his vision over the entire light heavyweight unit in the UFC. He is expected to make his return by the middle of 2021, with plenty of big names on his radar.
Right now, Hill is undefeated in the UFC (2-0), boasting of a pro record of 8-0 in MMA.

In response to Jamahal Hill’s recent tweet, Angela Hill took to Twitter and rallied in favor of the light heavyweight contender.
It is no secret that a lot of UFC fighters consume marijuana. Some of them do so for leisure and others use it as a part of their recovery. That said, several fighters have been examined by USADA over the course of these years and many have turned in a positive test.
