Jamahal Hill promises stoppage win over Alex Pereira in UFC 300 title fight: ‘The judges can just go home’
Headlining next month’s monumental UFC 300 card, former undisputed light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill has vowed to land a stoppage win over incumbent division titleholder, Alex Pereira – claiming the judges sat cageside can just go home before the headliner starts.
Hill, a former light heavyweight champion and the first product of Dana White’s Contender Series to land Octagon spoils, has been sidelined since he landed gold back in January of last year, turning in a unanimous decision win over Pereira’s training partner and close friend, Glover Teixeira.
Vacating the light heavyweight crown after he suffered a ruptured achilles back in the summer, Hill watched Octagon-side as the above-mentioned, Pereira turned in a second round TKO win over another former champion, Jiri Prochazka to land the vacant championship back in November at Madison Square Garden.

“April 13th main event the judge can just head home because trust they won’t be need!!! #can’twait,” Jamahal Hill posted on his official X account.
