Jamahal Hill issues warning to Alex Pereira ahead of light heavyweight leap: ‘An ass whooping is waiting for you here’

Undisputed UFC light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill has issued a stark and frank warning to former middleweight gold holder, Alex Pereira ahead of the Brazilian’s impending climb to the 205lbs division.

Hill, a product of Dana White’s Contender Series, became the first fighter from the format to land Octagon gold back in January of this year in the main event of UFC 283, landing a one-sided unanimous decision victory over former champion and Pereira’s training partner, Glover Teixeira.

As for Pereira, the Sao Paulo native headlined UFC 287 back in April against arch-rival, Israel Adesanya suffering his first loss in the pair’s four-fight professional combat sports series, in the form of a spectacular second round one-punch knockout loss in Miami, Florida.
