News Alex Pereira calls out Jamahal Hill for his first title-defence at LHW

Lmao of course he does, Ankalaev would whoop that ass and he knows it.

 

[Conor Strickland]

Lmao of course he does, Ankalaev would whoop that ass and he knows it.

I think Hill can too tho. Hill's a bad matchup for Pereira imo

After watching Jan chew up Ankalaevs legs I wouldn’t be so sure. Poatan is not Johnny Walker.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

It might not be the most exciting fight but Hill deserves it and it's the right fight to make. They even promised Hill a title shot on his return since he relinquished it not to hold up the division.

 

[KALEWYTEE]

Is Hill fully recovered yet? If so than yeah it makes the most sense

 

[fortheo]

Bad look for him to come out with this call out right after Ankalaev made his case for a title shot. I don't hate the match up and even think it's logical, but just bad timing for the call out lol.

Fighters should never be allowed to choose who they fight.

Especially champions - ranking should matter and the next highest ranked fighter should compete.

This whole "I want to fight him." or "I don't want to fight him." is tired and played out now.

These guys are fighters not WWE Divas.

A very wise call out as Hill had to relinquish the title in the first place. I like it and will watch.

Hill won the belt and only gave it up due to injury. Makes sense he gets the shot next as he was nice enough to let the belt go instead of holding the division hostage. He never lost the belt. It’s the fight that makes the most sense

Hill never lost his belt, he deserves it more than Ank no matter how it's spun if he's healthy.

 

[Mickey Mick]

I picked poatan, hill is really good but I just see Alex beating him.

I think Ank made his case last night for sure.
That should be next.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Uncle Aev is boring and unmarketable, albeit likely the best LHW on the planet rn. He should fight KRJ while Alex sorts out his next defense. I know this will trigger some folks, but I just don’t see the UFC pushing this guy. History is on my side.

So I don't know if this has been asked already but do these guys know about Sherdog? In your meetings with famous fighters, has the conversation ever turned to Sherdog?

At one time long ago there were famous fighters on Sherdog, but they faded away because people were pricks to them (big surprise- not).

 

[Uncommon Valor]

I thought thought Hill would win before. With the layoff and coming off of an injury, Pereira probably takes it now.

 

[fortheo]

That should be next.

I think both Hill and Ankalaev have solid claims to the next title shot, but when Pereira says "I want to fight Ankalaev", yet then a month later when Ankalaev wins and puts himself into contention and Pereira immediately says, "Let's focus on Hill" ......LOL it is a bad look.

 

[Dandy Chiggins]

It makes sense let's do it, but will it make money though, yeah they can probably throw in some bullshit maybe start a war on twitter using names and slurs, it works and it sells. We will gobble it up.

Oh I definitely agree sir, that's why I think he should fight Ank to prove a point.

 

[ferrisjso]

The fact I am the first one to vote for Hill is stunning.

Hill should be favored.
