Joe Rogan offered his take on the impending light heavyweight title tilt between newly minted world champion Alex Pereira and former titleholder Jamahal Hill.
Hill successfully claimed the title in January 2023, securing a decisive unanimous decision victory over Glover Teixeira. Unfortunately, ‘Sweet Dreams’ never got the opportunity to defend the gold. Waiting for Jiri Prochazka to return from a shoulder injury, Hill suffered a ruptured Achilles, forcing him to vacate the title.
That paved the way for Pereira to claim his second UFC belt in as many weight classes at the promotion’s 30th-anniversary showcase in Madison Square Garden last month.
