Jiri Prochazka has warned new UFC light-heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill he is "coming for him" after he won the vacant title at UFC 283 on Saturday night.
Prochazka won the belt from Glover Texeira in June, but before he could defend it in an immediate rematch he suffered a bad shoulder injury which saw the title vacated. Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz fought for the belt first in December, but when that ended in a draw, Hill was drafted in to face Texeira in a new title fight on Saturday night.
And the American made history as the first graduate of Dana White's Contender Series to become world champion in the promotion by beating former champion Texeira in front of a home crowd in Brazil. But there will be dispute over the legitimacy of any champion who hasn't defeated Prochazka going forward.
