Off the back of his stunning first round KO loss to dominant champion, Alex Pereira at UFC 300 over the course of the weekend, Jamahal Hill hopes to position himself in a title-eliminator fight against former champion, Jiri Prochazka in his return – claiming he simply “dared to be great” in his return from injury.
Hill, a former undisputed light heavyweight champion and the first Dana White’s Contender Series product to win Octagon gold, made his return atop UFC 300 over the course of the weekend, dropping a devastating loss to Pereira.
Sidelined since defeating the Brazilian’s close friend and training partner, Glover Teixeira back in January of last year, Illinois native, Hill was finished with a brutal left hook from Pereira at UFC 300 inside the opening round, with a slew of follow-up fights forcing a stoppage.
