A few days after defeating Glover Teixeira to become the new UFC King Light Heavyweight, Jamahal Hill became the focus of the media. Interestingly, General Teixeira is currently coach, adviser, and also a longtime friend of Alex Pereira, the current UFC champion of Middleweight.
Commenting on a pair between Jamahal Hill and Alex Pereira in the future, former UFC boxer Chael Sonnen confirmed this is entirely possible. He said: “Pereira does not want to continue to squeeze the Middleweight, he has defeated Adesanya, and now is the time when Pereira is balanced because Teixeira has retired.
The difficult thing for Pereira at this time is that UFC has arranged a match between Jamahal Hill and Glover Teixeira. According to UFC's logic, they will not create the effect if they continue to hill against another Brazilian. Therefore, if Pereira has played Light Heavyweight, it is likely that his opponent will be Jiri Prochazka. “
Unlike Jamahal Hill or Adesanya, Jira Prochazka is considered “rarity” in the current MMA world. Czech boxers have a knack for striking like Pereira, but he seems to be stronger. Therefore, Pereira is likely to still be about a fight against Hill first, and American boxers are also very willing to go to the stage.
Hill said: “They told me that Pereira could be balanced. Good, he wanted to get my weight at all times. As long as he decided, I would step out and defeat him. I watched Pereira play at UFC 281. He was very strong, but I would lower him at any time.”
On the Jiri Prochazka side, the former UFC champion could not protect the belt as expected by injury. He had successfully operated and could return to the summer of 2023. Jiri Prochazka's re -appearance is likely to attract more attention than the confrontation between Hill and Pereira, because the absolute power he has shown over the past time.
