UFC champ Jamahal Hill says he’s ‘better than Jiri everywhere,’ wants first title defense vs. Prochazka

UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill has a name in mind for his first title defense, and it’s a big one.

The newly crowned champ is looking to fight against the man who last wore the belt and who never lost it, Jiri Prochazka.

Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) won the vacant 205-pound title by defeating Glover Teixeira (33-9 MMA, 16-7 UFC) this past Saturday in the main event of UFC 283 in Brazil. The belt had been vacant since Prochazka relinquished it in November after suffering a shoulder injury.
