Former undisputed light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill – who has been vocal in his pursuit of a title rematch with Alex Pereira, has voiced his dismay at the Brazilian’s booking of a title fight with Khalil Rountree in the main event of UFC 307 in Ocotber.
Hill, who currently holds the number three rank in the official light heavyweight division, has been sidelined since he headlined UFC 300 back in April, dropping a stunning opening round knockout loss to former two-weight champion, Pereira in the pair’s grudge match title clash.
And forced to withdraw from UFC 303 during International Fight Week, Illinois striker, Hill saw a pairing with Rountree fall to the wayside amid an anti-doping indiscretion from the latter, before injury ruled the former champion from a matchup with Carlos Ulberg.
