Video – Alex Pereira throws gloves at Jamahal Hill, offers fight during heated run in at UFC PI

Recently offering a rematch to Jamahal Hill ahead of his UFC 311 return, Alex Pereira was involved in a heated run-in with the Ilinois native tonight at the promotion’s Performance Institute — offering him a fight there and then, after throwing a pair of boxing gloves in his direction.

Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion, and the current light heavyweight champion, has been sidelined since October, most recently landing a fourth round knockout win over surging contender, Khalil Rountree with a bloody finish at the Octagon fence.
