Post-fight, Hill intends to convey a positive message to his followers via social media. Despite the circumstance, he appeared to be in good spirits.
“Yeah, that’s the game we’re playing,” said Jamahal Hill. “I got caught. If anyone cares, I’m fine. We’re still doing what we have to do tonight, you know where we are? We’re fine.” We’ve arrived at Hakkasan. That’s right, man. We’re made to be right back.”
Pereira is focused on maintaining his championship status and is likely to defend his 205-pound title at UFC 301 on May 4th. Although uncommon, Pereira thrives when fighting consistently.
Hill, at just 32 years old, remains poised for a return and may secure a title shot in the dynamic light heavyweight division if he performs well.
