As the year draws to a close, fans are witnessing intense controversy and trash talk between fighters, setting the stage for an exciting upcoming year. Jamahal Hill recently uploaded a video on YouTube where he mocked his division rivals, including Jiri Prochazka and current light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira. However, Hill has also found himself in a heated debate over Alex Pereira’s alleged sneaky move at UFC 300.
At UFC 300, Hill faced Pereira and suffered a brutal first-round knockout. Despite the loss, the former light heavyweight champion still believes the referee’s poor decision-making contributed to the outcome. However, a fan criticized him, saying he shouldn’t blame the defeat on the referee, as Herb Dean had clearly signaled the fight to continue. Hill, however, firmly rejected this perspective, responding:
“Herb stepped behind me and said continue blocking my left side! This all happened in 4 seconds, so to say that didn’t play a factor is retarded!! I accept I should’ve been more on point and not shown sportsmanship when I wasn’t given any. It was dumb on my part, but you learn,” Hill said.
Jamahal Hill believes that Alex Pereira "advanced during a timeout" leading to him getting knocked out at #UFC300:

This isn’t the first time Hill has discussed his loss at UFC 300. Previously, he pointed out how the mid-round stoppage impacted the outcome. However, he continues to respond to comments, even mentioning the possibility of a rematch.

Hill expressed his frustration in a series of social media posts. In response, Pereira clapped back at Hill’s comments. In a recent post on X, ‘Poatan’ mockingly addressed Hill with a sharp remark:

Fans are likely to witness a fight between Hill and Prochazka at UFC 311, although the matchup has not been officially confirmed yet, and fans will have to wait for the official announcement. If ‘Sweet Dreams’ manages to defeat Prochazka, a potential Hill vs. Pereira 2 could be on the horizon.
