Alex Pereira mocks Jamahal Hill after KO celebration jibe Maybe he just woke up from the knockout Claiming Jamahal Hill “reaped what he had sown” as a result of his UFC 300 knockout loss two months…

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.

Doubling down on his recent response to Hill, Pereira joked that the former titleholder had likely just woken up for the first time since his knockout defeat – questioning why it took him two months to hit out at him.

“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.”

“That would be fantastic [fighting at UFC 305 in Australia], even more so now feeling the warmth from all the fans, the crowd and the good people,” Alex Pereria said during an interview with the Herald Sun. “Imagine me doing a fight here [in Australia], it makes me very happy.”

“It’s my third time in Australia, I was here when Anderson Silva fought (against Israel Adesanya), but I wasn’t the man I am now,” Alex Pereira continued. “I wasn’t known. Now, I can come back and train and work and I like it here, and I’m making new friends and contacts.”

Former two-time middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya has claimed he is “dialled in” in new training footage, amid continued links to a UFC 305 title siege against arch-rival, Dricus du Plessis in the promotion’s return to Australia.

Adesanya, a former two-time middleweight titleholder and prior title challenger at the light heavyweight limit, has been out of action since UFC 293 back in September of last year in the organization’s last trip ‘Downunder’.

Setting an unwanted record in the process, City Kickboxing star, Adesanya became the first champion in Octagon history to drop his belt twice in the space of a calendar year, in the form of a one-sided unanimous decision loss to Sean Strickland – who prevailed with a decision win over Paulo Costa at UFC 302 over the weekend.

And linked with another immediate title fight comeback in his return from his sidelining, Adesanya has been suggested as an ideal candidate to headline UFC 305 in August, with a title grudge fight against du Plessis reportedly in the works for the RAC Arena in Perth.

Sharing new photos from his training camp ahead of an expected summer comeback, Adesanya has added fuel to the fire on an impending return, claiming he is “dialled in” once more following his sidelining.

“Just hang up, I’m dialled in,” Israel Adesanya posted on his official X account.

Sharing a distinct rivalry with Pretoria native, du Plessis – the South African star improved his unbeaten run in the promotion back in January, as well as wrapping up middleweight spoils in the form of a split decision win over the above-mentioned, Strickland in the main event of UFC 297 in Canada.

Since then, Illinois native, Muhammad has turned in notable consecutive victories over the likes of Demian Maia, Stephen Thompson, Vicente Luque, Sean Brady, and the above-mentioned, Burns.

Snatching undisputed welterweight gold from former pound-for-pound number one, Kamaru Usman back in the summer of 2022 with a highlight-reel, rallying fifth round high-kick KO win, Edwards would defeat the Auchi native in London last year in a close majority decision victory in the pair’s trilogy rubber match.

UFC 304 takes place on July 27. from the Co-op Live arena in Manchester, England – with the undisputed welterweight title fight between Edwards and Muhammad slated to take headlining honors.

Former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira has revealed his coaches had to talk him away from a planned return as soon as International Fight Week at the end of June – forcing the Sao Paulo to postpone a comeback until the following month.

Oliveira, a former undisputed lightweight titleholder, and the current number two ranked division contender, featured on the main card of UFC 300 last month, suffering a contentious split decision loss to Arman Tsarukyan in the pair’s officially billed title eliminator.

And vowing to make a quickfire return as he weighed up fights with both former foes, Justin Gaethje, and Max Holloway, Oliveira argued his case that he actually should have got the nod from the seated judges against Tsarukyan, pointing to his numerous close submission attempts.

Searching a high-profile comeback, Oliveira sounded out a fight with former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor – as well as revealing he would most definitely entertain a move to the welterweight ranks.

“I didn’t break a sweat [at UFC 300],” Charles Oliveira told AgFight during a recent interview. “So I just left wanting to fight and still continue with that mentality of fighting. I wanted to fight in International Fight Week, which is in June, and [Diego] Lima stopped me, said ‘Calm down, breathe’.”

“The team said to take a breath, so that’s what I’m doing,” Charles Oliveira explained. “I’m breathing, I’m calm, but I want to fight in July or August.”
