UFC champ Alex Pereira scoffs at Jamahal Hill’s KO prediction: ‘He will go on the ground, as well’

UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira expects Jamahal Hill to resort to grappling like most of his past opponents.

At UFC 295, Pereira (9-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) knocked out Jiri Prochazka to claim the vacant light heavyweight title that Hill relinquished after he ruptured his Achilles tendon. Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) is expected to challenge Pereira for the title in his return, and “Poatan” suggests he might be his most favorable matchup at 205 pounds.
