UFC star Jamahal Hill is set to redeem himself as he faces Jiri Prochazka at the UFC311.
The fighter suffered a savage knockout when he faced UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira Ana’s has since been on brink of recovery. Hill has suffered a lot of backlash and comments from fans since his loss but his upcoming bout with Prochazka may be a step in the right direction for him.
Hill is eager for another shot at the title and says his possible win against Prochazka might earn him a spot.
“Yeah, 100 percent,” Hill said on getting the next title shot Wednesday at UFC 311 media day. “I feel a win here, especially a dominant, impressive win here, next fight is title. Next is the championship. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be. Ankalaev fought No. 5, No. 4 or something like that last then that just says title? So, I’m fighting No. 2 in the world. I don’t see me going backward from that.”
Hill is eager to face Pereira as the two have a rivalry that extends beyon the octagon. the two had an incident at the Performance institute and since then Hill has been more deteremined to take the champ down and prove his mettle.
“Some people are stupid,” Hill said. “You can’t fix stupid. One plus one still equals two to me, but some people, common sense ain’t common. So, 100 percent, that’s what I feel it is. I believe we come both with exciting styles to put on a performance and leave a lasting memory whenever we step into the cage.
“People liked it and loved the moment so much last time, so why wouldn’t you want it again? Plus, I’m not making any excuses because I signed the contract. I came in, I felt ready to go, and I felt like I was good. But still, nine months from an Achilles injury, I’d like to see what I’d do now with where I’m at now.”
