Jamahal Hill‘s rivalry with Alex Pereira and fellow light-heavyweight contenders continues to be the talk of the town. The former champion clashed with ‘Poatan’ in the iconic UFC 300 PPV card this year. ‘Sweet Dreams’ walked into the fight with utmost confident to dethrone the Brazilian fighter. Unfortunately, the fight did not go as expected as Pereira knocked Hill out after refusing a ‘low-blow break.’

Unfazed from his original take, Jamahal Hill continues to call the mishap unfair, partly pushing the blame on Pereira and Herb Dean. Former champion felt Dean served as a major distraction by pulling the fight to a stop, then retreating on Poatan’s command. The 33-year-old feels he can change the outcome next time if given a chance. However, his latest take seems to have turned him into a subject of heavy trolling.

Hill continues to share the belief that the finish of this fight came through unfair means. The American fighter got into a heated back-and-forth with fans, who begged to differ. Currently, he is slated to fight another former champion in Jiri Prochazka on the UFC 311 card.

Meanwhile, Hill’s continuous attacks on the legitimacy of the UFC 300 finish have gained him infamy from the MMA world. The fight fans are dismissing his take with opposing viewpoints, that have seemed to irk the fighter.
