NEW YORK – Glover Teixeira likes Jamahal Hill as a next opponent for Alex Pereira.
Pereira (9-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) captured the vacant light heavyweight title when he knocked out Jiri Prochazka (29-4-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in the second round in this past Saturday’s UFC 295 main event at Madison Square Garden.
Although Pereira called out former foe Israel Adesanya after his win, UFC CEO Dana White said ex-champ Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) is the fight to make. If Hill is indeed next, Teixeira feels confident about the matchup.
