The former Light Heavyweight Champ first enacted being calf kicked by Pereira (one of Pereira’s best abilities) and getting his leg injured, hopping off the cage, and saying ‘f*** this’. Then he enacts ‘how it would actually go’, attempting to leg kick Pereira, getting checked, and ultimately getting TKO’d from the damage.
Jamahal Hill is a fan favorite for his relatable sense of humor and amazing skillset inside the Octagon. Alex Pereira is infamous for his deadly calf kicks, which he throws in a very unorthodox manner, and they are his most well-known method for quickly neutralizing an opponent’s power.
Jamahal Hill responds to criticism for consulting Israel Adesanya
Ahead of the main event bout against ‘Poatan’, Jamahal Hill has faced a lot of criticism from MMA fans for expressing a lot of confidence in his ability to ‘knock out’ Pereira. Pereira has garnered a huge fanbase ever since his shift to the UFC, and has a lot of people behind him, who have raised a lot of questions at Jamahal’s confidence.
Alex: Iām going to beat Jamahal so easy/clean Iāll fight another top contender another 3 weeks later.

MMA Community: Heās a beast, I believe he can do it, dudes special, f**k love it!
Me: Iām better than Alex
MMA Community: Your to confident, your delusional, your unlikeable
Jamahal Hill has referred to ‘Poatan’s’ fans as ‘Poatards’ (referring to Pereira fans as retards) and has been vocal about the biasedness he felt online.
POTARDS: Glover training Alex is a huge advantage!!!

Also Potards: What could Hill learn from Izzy about fighting Alex!!
Bro you canāt make this up šššš
Hill, who is good friends with former Middleweight Champion, Israel Adesanya, consulted ‘Izzy’ before his matchup against Pereira, as ‘Izzy’ is a former 4 time rival of Pereira. For the same, Jamahal Hill was at the face of critique again on ‘X’.
Aināt no better brain for Jamahal Hill to pick from than Israel Adesanya when it comes to fighting in general, let alone his upcoming fight at #UFC300 against Alex Pereiraš¤·š½āāļø

Alex bout to jump on a call with DDP unfortunately thošš¤£ pic.twitter.com/JGbRzKteIF
Jamahal Hill as a response, took to ‘X’ to callout Pereira’s fans for their double standards, as Pereira’s head coach, Glover Texeira, is also Jamahal Hill’s rival and has gone with Hill for 5 straight rounds.
With the main event locked and loaded for the Light Heavyweight Title, the matchup gets even more intense because of the history of the Title, being formerly held by Pereira’s coach, Texeira.
