Former undisputed light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill has revealed he officially received confirmation of his UFC 300 headliner with incumbent gold holder, Alex Pereira – during last night’s UFC 298 event in Anaheim, California – claiming he only received confirmation when he attended the Honda Center.
Hill, the current number one ranked light heavyweight contender and former divisional titleholder, has been sidelined since he won gold back in January of last year at UFC 283, where he dispatched Pereira’s close friend and training partner, Glover Teixeira in a unanimous decision win in Brazil.
Vacating his championship belt back in November officially, Hill attended Madison Square Garden where he watched the above-mentioned, Pereira turn in a stunning second round knockout win over fellow former gold holder, Jiri Prochazka, to win the vacant divisional crown.
