So much for the advice Israel Adesanya gave to Jamahal Hill ahead of UFC 300.
Ahead of his bid to reclaim the crown he’d never lost, ‘Sweet Dreams’ sought the wisdom of the only man who had handed Alex Pereira a loss inside the Octagon. Unfortunately, Hill forgot that ‘Poatan’ had run through ‘The Last Stylebender’ three times before that.
Returning to the Octagon in Las Vegas, Alex Pereira added another name to his hit list and another highlight to his reel, dispatching Hill in the opening round of their UFC 300 headliner with one very nasty uppercut. Adesanya, who was front row and center for the festivities, looked non-too happy to see his friend lying on the canvas courtesy of his greatest rival.

Adesanya knows exactly how Jamahal Hill felt, having been personally knocked out by Alex Pereira on two separate occasions — the first coming under the GLORY Kickboxing banner in 2017.
‘Stylebender’ thought the days of getting his ass handed to him by ‘Poatan’ were over once he made the move from kickboxing to MMA. Five years later, a ghost from his past showed up inside the Octagon at UFC 281 and handed the New Zealander another brutal knockout, taking his UFC middleweight crown in the process.
Israel Adesanya did score a bit of redemption at UFC 287, stopping Pereira in the second round with a counter-right to reclaim the middleweight crown, moving his record to 1-3 against the Brazilian bruiser.
UFC fans had a field day in the comments, reacting to Adesanya’s stone-faced acknowledgment of what happened to Jamahal Hill in the landmark main event.

Jon Jones was left stunned by Alex Pereira’s viral first-round finish of Jamahal Hill.
Stepping into the spotlight at the promotion’s landmark UFC 300 card in Las Vegas, ‘Poatan’ put his light heavyweight title on the line for the first time against a former champion hellbent on reclaiming the crown he’d never lost. Jamahal Hill talked a big game going into their massive 205-pound headliner, but it took Pereira a little over three minutes to let his fists do all the talking for him.
Waving off referee Herb Dean seconds after absorbing a low blow, Pereira blasted Hill with a nasty left uppercut that instantly put ‘Sweet Dreams’ to sleep. Hill came to long enough to see a flurry of fists flying his way until Dean stepped in, bringing a stop to the bout in the opening round.
Reactions to the insane knockout flooded social media with some of MMA’s biggest stars joining in — including reigning undisputed UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who shared his two-work take on the epic finish.
“My goodness,” Jones wrote on X.
Immediately following the contest, Alex Pereira called for a quick turnaround, requesting to challenge interim heavyweight titleholder Tom Aspinall at UFC 301 on May 4.
“I want to keep continuing to defend this belt,” Pereira said. “I talked a lot about fighting in Brazil if I won this fight. I won this fight. I’m not hurt. Nothing happened. I know there needs to be a lot of promotion behind a fight, but I want to have a fight at heavyweight.”
It’s unlikely that Pereira vs. Aspinall will happen — at least on such short notice — but if Pereira likes the idea of a move to heavyweight more than defending his 205-pound title against the next man in line, who are we to argue? Especially when the next man up for ‘Poatan’ is most likely Russian standout Magomed Ankalaev.
Who knows… If the UFC grants Pereria his wish, perhaps we could one day see ‘Poatan’ square off with Jon Jones, though that’s probably just wishful thinking.

After making quick work of Jamahal Hill at UFC 300, Alex Pereira has his sights set on a quick turnaround and heavyweight gold.
Stepping inside the Octagon to defend his light heavyweight title for the first time, ‘Poatan’ delivered another jaw-dropping finish, putting ‘Sweet Dreams’ to sleep with a slick left uppercut that sent Hill crashing to the canvas. A few ground-and-pound shots later, that was all she wrote.
Speaking with Joe Rogan immediately following his seventh career win inside the Octagon, Pereira alluded to a potential showdown with reigning interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall at UFC 301 next month when the promotion returns to Rio de Janeiro.
“I want to keep continuing to defend this belt,” Pereira said. “I talked a lot about fighting in Brazil if I won this fight. I won this fight. I’m not hurt. Nothing happened. I know there needs to be a lot of promotion behind a fight, but I want to have a fight at heavyweight.”
With the UFC’s next pay-per-view event a mere three weeks away, it’s hard to imagine that the promotion can pull together such a massive fight in such a short period.
Play-by-play man Jon Anik also suggested during the UFC 300 broadcast that Pereira may have suffered some kind of injury to his foot during his brief encounter with Hill which could further complicate things.
Still, it’s an exciting proposal and one that could help bolster UFC 301 — a card sorely lacking in star power.

Undisputed light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira remains the pacesetter at 205lbs following tonight’s UFC 300 card in Las Vegas, finishing former champion, Jamahal Hill with a brutal first round KO in the pair’s grudge fight atop the monumental event.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion, and the current undisputed light heavyweight champion, earned his second crown under the promotion’s banner back in November at UFC 295, stopping fellow card feature, Jiri Prochazka in the pair’s vacant title affair.
And welcoming the above-mentioned Illinois native, Hill back to the Octagon for the first time since his January vacant title win over Pereira’s training partner and close friend, Glover Teixeira last year, Alex Pereira made incredibly short work of his challenger tonight.
Firing off a couple of notable outside calf kick to Dana White’s Contender Series product, Hill’s southpaw lead leg, Pereira was offered a time of stoppage by referee, Herb Dean after a stray groin kick from Hill — which he elected to immediately brush off to one side.
And in the aftermath of his rejection of a timeout, Alex Pereira clipped Hill with almost a shovel left hook — sending him crashing to the canvas on his back, before swarming, assuming top control and finishing with a series of brutal hammer fist strikes.
Following his victory, Pereira announced his plans to retain his light heavyweight title further down the line, but also weighed up the prospect of a return in just three weeks time at UFC 301 in his Brazil — in a heavyweight division debut against current interim champion, Tom Aspinall.
