Jamahal Hill- Aljamain Sterling

UFC Bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling does have quite loud supporters despite a lot of criticism for his acceptance of the championship belt from his UFC 259 fight win against Petr Yan that happened due to disqualification, and UFC light heavyweight Jamahal Hill. However, Sterling is looking forward to settling business without any controversy intact this time as he faces Yan again in a title unification match at UFC 273 now that Yan is the interim bantamweight champion.

Jamahal Hill is coming off the biggest victory of his career when he knocked out Johnny Walker via knockout in the very first round. Hill is now looking forward to fighting top prospects in the light heavyweight division. To avenge his loss from Paul Craig would be a perfect step closer to the conversation on title contention. UFC 273 is taking place this weekend at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, the USA.

Sterling responded to Hill saying “Mark Smith* was the ref, but yea man. The ones that are mad really tight for other reasons [laughing and i don’t know emoji] Cause the logic makes ZERO sense.” Hill wrote in the comments and said Lock in and do your thang Champ

What do you make of this support and luck from Hill to Sterling? Who do you think wins the fight in the rematch between Sterling and Petr Yan? What do you think is next for Hill? Potential opponents other than Paul Craig are Thiago Santos, Anthony Smith, Dominick Reyes, and Magomed Ankalaev.
