Expected to make a return to the Octagon potentially in September, current undisputed UFC light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill has claimed that he has yet to hear from the promotion regarding a fight with former gold holder, Jiri Prochazka, casting doubt on a showdown between the two.
Hill, a product of Dana White’s Contender Series – has been sidelined since he landed the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 283 back in January, travelling to Brazil to secure a unanimous decision victory against former champion and common-foe, Glover Teixeira.
As for Prochazka, the Czech Republic native most recently featured in the main event of UFC 275 in Singapore last summer, landing a fifth round rallying submission win over then-champion, Teixeira – submitting the Brazilian with a rear-naked choke.
