Jamahal Hill kept his undefeated record in tact earlier tonight (Sat., May 30, 2020) live on ESPN/ESPN+ from inside UFC APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, when he flattened Klidson Abreu via first-round TKO (knee to the body and punches).
Hill had Abreu’s number from the opening bell as he connected with a straight left, right hook that scored a knockdown. Abreu would regain his composure only to have Hill land a brutal knee to the body. The Brazilian fell to the canvas and Hill followed up for some punches before the referee stepped in.

With this performance, Hill pushes his undefeated record to 8-0 and captures his second win in a row inside of the Octagon. “Sweet Dreams” looked tremendous tonight and is quickly proving to be one of the most promising prospects at the light heavyweight level.
