Jamahal Hill rips Alex Pereira for UFC 300 celebration months after loss: ‘I went to Brazil and dog walked your guy’
Former light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill has hit out at Alex Pereira two months on from their UFC 300 headliner – ripping the Brazilian star for celebrating his knockout victory, while claiming he “dog walked” Pereira’s close friend and training partner, Glover Teixeira in Brazil the year prior.
Hill, the current number three ranked divisional contender, is slated to make his return at the end of this month at UFC 303 during International Fight Week, taking on Carlos Ulberg in a reworked clash on the card’s co-main event.
As for Pereira, the Sao Paulo native – who struck middleweight spoils prior to his light heavyweight title reign began last November, has yet to be booked for his return since beating Hill, however, confirmed he is targeting an August rematch with Czech Republic star, Jiri Prochazka.
And in the time since his knockout defeat to former two-division champion, Pereira, Illinois native, Hill claimed he would work his way back to a rematch with the former – and land his own knockout victory.
