Earmarked to challenge newly-minted light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira off the back of UFC 295 last weekend, former divisional champion, Jamahal Hill has promised to turn in a knockout win over the Brazilian – to reclaim the 205 pound crown.
Hill, the now number one ranked light heavyweight contender, has been sidelined since he featured back in January of this year, winning the vacant title with a unanimous decision win over Pereira’s training partner and close friend, Glover Teixeira in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
As for Pereira, the former undisputed middleweight champion added to his Octagon trophy cabinet at UFC 295 earlier this week, landing a second round knockout win over another former champion, Jiri Prochazka, unleashing a barrage of strikes at the fence to secure a stoppage triumph.
