Jamahal Hill has dubbed himself the best boxer in the UFC.
2023 looked to be a breakout year for ‘Sweet Dreams’ after he claimed the light heavyweight title in a short-notice opportunity against former champion Glover Teixeira at UFC 283. Everything was going according to plan as Jamahal Hill anxiously awaited his next opponent, Jiri Prochazka, to heal up from a shoulder injury so the pair could handle some business inside the Octagon. Then disaster struck.
Hill ruptured his Achilles this past July while participating in a charity basketball game alongside other UFC stars, which would force him to relinquish his light heavyweight championship.
