‘The way he was glaring at the champion’ - Cormier shares ‘crazy’ moment between Jamahal Hill, Alex Pereira

Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier saw the start of what could be a fight between Jamahal Hill and Alex Pereira.

Immediately after Hill defeated Glover Teixeira for the vacant UFC light heavyweight championship at UFC 283 on Saturday, Cormier stepped into the Octagon to conduct post-fight interviews. While interviewing Teixeira, ‘DC’ noticed Pereira sizing up Hill.

Because he was his friend and mentor, some, including Cormier, thought Pereira might want to get some revenge for Teixeira. But before that can happen, the UFC Hall of Famer would prefer the Brazilian to defend his newly acquired UFC middleweight championship first.
