Issuing yet another warning to distinct enemy, Alex Pereira ahead of his UFC 303 return this weekend, former champion, Jamahal Hill claims if the Brazilian drops his title against Jiri Prochazka – he will await him in a rematch.

Hill, the current number three ranked light heavyweight contender, was slated to make his own return at UFC 303 this weekend, seeing a rescheduled bout with the surging, Carlos Ulberg fall to the wayside after he suffered another injury setback.

Snapping his sidelining through an achilles injury last summer with a headliner against the previously mentioned, Pereira at UFC 300 earlier this year, ex-champion, Hill dropped a stunning opening round knockout loss to the Sao Paulo finisher.

Jamahal Hill warns Alex Pereira of rematch in the future

And immediately staking his claim for a title fight rematch with former duel-weight champion, Pereira in the future off the back of his one-sided loss, Illinois native, Hill claimed once more ahead of UFC 303 – if the former slips up just once, he will force him to fight him again next.

“Alex (Pereira) has got his own task ahead of him,” Jamahal Hill said on his YouTube channel. “This weekend, he’s fighting JIir Prochazka defending the title. Best of luck to you in this rematch – because if you lose, I don’t give a f*ck if they [the UFC] offer me a title shot. It’s me and you [next].”

“You win, I’m going to go starch the next guy, and I’ll see you soon,” Jamahal Hill explained. “You lose, I see you real soon.”

Hitting out at Pereira’s now-viral celebration against him, Hill claimed he would remind the Brazilian fan-favorite what it feels like to wake up from a devastating knockout if he gets the chance to share the Octagon with him again.

Do you think Jamahal Hill can make his way back to a fight with Alex Pereira again?

Yet to give up the ghost on his rivalry with incumbent light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira two months on from his brutal first round knockout loss to the Brazilian, former titleholder, Jamahal Hill has vowed to finish the Brazilian with strikes in a future rematch.

Hill, the current number three ranked contender at 205lbs, has been sidelined since he headlined UFC 300 back in April, dropping a devastating opening round knockout defeat to former two-weight champion, Pereira.

And booked to return already, Dana White’s Contender Series alum, Hill is set to co-headline UFC 303 at the end of this month during International Fight Week, taking on streaking Kiwi finisher, Carlos Ulberg. 

Receiving the wrath of Pereira earlier this week after he hit out at the light heavyweight champion for his now-viral celebration over him at UFC 300, Hill was met with another brash tirade from the Sao Paulo favorite.

“To be honest, I don’t get why he’s (Jamahal Hill) doing this so late,” Alex 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,” Alex Pereira explained. “During Glover’s (Teixeira) 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.” 

Jamahal Hill again vows to knock out Alex Pereira

And once more replying to Pereira, Illinois native, Hill poked fun at the former’s knockout defeat to Israel Adesanya last year, before vowing to finish him with strikes if they fight once more.

“Funny only one of us had been knocked unconscious needing oxygen and multiple people’s help to wake with your toes curled!!!” Jamahal Hill posted on his official Instagram account. “Don’t worry I’ll remind you of that feeling again very soon!!!”

Claiming Jamahal Hill “reaped what he had sown” as a result of his UFC 300 knockout loss two months ago, light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira has questioned if the former had just “woke up” from the stoppage loss, after his complaints two months after the matchup.

Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion and the current light heavyweight titleholder, headlined UFC 300 most recently back in April, welcoming the above-mentioned Hill back from a ruptured achilles injury for the first time.

Taking out the Dana White’s Contender Series veteran with a blistering win, Pereira winged a huge left shovel hook, felling Hill and landing a slew of ground strikes to force a stoppage and defend his light heavyweight title successfully for the first time.

And months later, ahead of his own comeback at UFC 303 later this month against Carlos Ulberg, Illinois native, Hill claimed he would beat Pereira in a future rematch – after hitting out at him for his now-viral gesturing celebration.

Eyeing a return to the Octagon at the end of the summer, Pereira confirmed he would like to feature at UFC 305 in August, in a first fighting outing in Australia for the Brazilian star.
