Jamahal Hill still believes he’s the rightful champion. Jiri Prochazka recently said Alex Pereira had a better stand-up game than Jamahal Hill. Hill recently took to Instagram to respond to Jiri Prochazka’s remarks. This is what Hill said: 

While the former champ is entitled to his opinion, I think it's fair to be noted of the fact that you have never seen me rocked, knocked out or outstruck. I also hold the record for the most strikes landed in this division,... But also just throwing in the fact that I have more fights in the UFC than both of you combined. So, in all honesty, I respect your opinion, I just find it funny.
