In the latest case of mistaken identify, former undisputed light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill claims current strawweight gold holder, Zhang Weili mistook him for incoming UFC 307 title challenger, Khalil Rountree during the Contender Series last week.
Weili, the current undisputed strawweight champion, has been sidelined since she turned in a dominant unanimous judging win over compatriot, Yan Xiaonan on the main card of UFC 300 earlier this month, in the first all-Chinese championship fight in the history of the promotion.
Himself also sidelined since that event, former light heavyweight gold holder, Hill has yet to return since his first round stoppage loss to arch-rival, Alex Pereira, dropping his crown in devastating fashion in the monumental event’s headliner.
