Already booked for his return to action just a week removed from his stunning KO loss to incumbent light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira atop UFC 300, ex-champion, Jamahal Hill claims the fact he took “no damage” against the Brazilian enabled him to book a June comeback.
Hill, the current number three ranked light heavyweight challenger and a former division gold holder, headlined UFC 300 over a week ago against Sao Paulo knockout ace, Pereira, dropping a devastating first round KO loss.
Sidelined since January of last year where he crowned himself division gold holder with a decision win over Pereira’s close friend and training partner, Glover Teixeira, Hill ruptured his achilles tendon last summer, forcing his vacating of the title.
