Newly crowned light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira isn’t buying Jamahal Hill’s promise to keep things standing during their inevitable UFC title clash in 2024.

Earlier this month, ‘Poatan’ claimed his second world title in as many divisions when he bested returning former champion Jiri Prochazka with a stunning second-round knockout in the UFC 295 headliner. The victory not only established Pereira as one of the greatest champions in the history of the promotion, but it also set the stage for a showdown between himself and the man who never technically lost the title, Jamahal Hill.
