Jamahal Hill gives his prediction before UFC 300
Jamahal Hill is riding high on confidence before his scheduled title fight next month against Poatan. Hill has won all of his bouts barring the one with Paul Craig when he broke his arm. Safe to say his fight against Pereira is his biggest test yet. On paper Pereira might be the favorite goin into the fight but Hill has defied the odds before. He said,
Bro I’m knocking him the f**k out. When I say this, this is no disrespect to Alex. Just the way I see the fight, whenever I started to break it down the more I started to lock in. I started to get off into my own thing. I started to round in the form. I realize the mismatch it truly, truly is. Can he catch me and knock me out? He’s been fighting for a long time. He has strikes, yes. It’s a possibility to get caught and lose. That, short of him actually getting something through and it catching me, and just putting me away. He gets his a** whooped.
Hill made it clear there is always a possibility of getting caught but he’s confident that it’s going to be his night. He believes he is a bad matchup for Alex who is a traditional striker and will be unable to deal with his style. Hill has previously beaten Alex’s countryman and teammate Glover Teixeira in a five-round bout.
Many believe that revenge will be on Alex’s mind as he prepares to take on Hill next month to defend his title for the very first time. Will he add Jamahal Hill add to his highlight reel only time will tell. It fits perfectly that Alex Pereira will headlining the landmark UFC event UFC 300 given how entertaining the kickboxer really is.
