Alex Pereira vs. Jamahal Hill: How did we get right here?
Jamahal Hill first captured the 205-pound title in January 2023, defeating Glover Teixeira through a decisive unanimous choice.
Sadly, ‘Candy Goals’ by no means had the chance to defend the title. As he was ready for Jiri Prochazka to return from damage, he himself suffered a ruptured Achilles, forcing him to vacate the title. 4 months later, ‘Poatan’ scored a second-round KO towards Prochazka at UFC 295, climbing to the highest of one other division after having already received the middleweight title a 12 months prior.
Pereira’s win put him on a collision course with Hill that can culminate in a can’t-miss conflict in Sin Metropolis.
