Jamahal Hill and Corey Anderson sparked a debate on which promotion has the best light heavyweight.
UFC light heavyweight champion Hill took exception to Anderson’s claim that Bellator 205-pound champ Vadim Nemkov could be UFC champion, and that the top three in the division are himself, Nemkov, and Magomed Ankalev.
Hill responded to Anderson (17-6 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) in a video on his YouTube channel, prompting Anderson to fire back.
Anderson, a former UFC light heavyweight, holds notable wins over former champs Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira. In his most recent appearance this past Friday, Anderson defeated ex-UFC fighter Phil Davis at Bellator 297.
Hill claimed the vacant light heavyweight belt by battering Teixeira for five rounds at UFC 283 in January.

Anderson questions Hill's resume
🤣🤣🤣 Ol Sweet Booty @JamahalH in his feelings! Talk about MMA math… didn't you get your arm snapped by Paul Craig? Sooo that'd make him the best.. I toasted the 44y/o guy you beat to win the belt on 2 weeks notice when he was ranked #3. Other than that who you beat? NOBODY!! https://t.co/puX4rwJA8a
