Jamahal Hill believed his UFC 300 fight against Alex Pereira was a mismatch.
Turns out he was right, thanks to a first-round finish from “Poatan” back in early April. So why is “Sweet Dreams” suddenly ranting about his “Sin City” performance, now roughly two months removed from the promotion’s landmark event?
Pereira is just as confused as everyone else.
“To be honest, I don’t get why he’s doing this so late,” Pereira told Fox Sports Australia. “It’s been almost two months. People usually do that right away, but maybe he just woke up from the knockout. It’s kind of like you harvest what you seed. During Glover’s fight, he was respectful. Glover, he got respect at the end. With us, he was a bit more disrespectful, so he got what he put on.”
Hill was even smack-talking Pereira fans ahead of UFC 300.
“Funny, only one of us had been knocked unconscious needing oxygen and multiple people’s help to wake with your toes curled!!” Hill responded on Instagram. “Don’t worry l’II remind you of that feeling again very soon!!!”
Perhaps Hill should shift his attention to Carlos Ulberg, who fights “Sweet Dreams” in the UFC 303 co-main event later this month in Las Vegas. Ulberg is the winner of six straight with five finishes — four within the first round.
