But before we hasten into more details of the fight, let's take a look at Hill's childhood.

Jamahal Hill’s early life 

Hill was born on  April 20, 1991, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Now while it might seem that Hill was a bit of a late bloomer when it came to MMA and stepping into the octagon and stepping it up, his storied journey started as a young man when he discovered boxing and realized he had a penchant for close quarter fights.

And once it dawned upon him that he was rather good at winning those fights, he delved into the world of mixed martial arts, a sport that would truly be able to justify his god-given talent for violence.

Of course, his biggest payday came when he defeated the legendary Glover Texeira in the main event of UFC 283 and billed the Dana White-led company a cheque of $382,000. Now, it might seem that Hill hasn't been around that long but that is a common misconception.

Jamahal Hill’s  Career Timeline

Hill made his MMA debut in 2017 and has been unmissable since then. His boxing background allows him to enter into striking contests on his feet, which he wins, courtesy of the weird and awkward angles he uses to attack. Hill's was first seen to the general MMA crowd during Dana White's Contender Series. He performed exceedingly well on that show and like many of his predecessors before him, found himself in possession of a UFC  contract.

Hill currently sits on a 4-match win streak, with the legendary Glover Texeira being the last giant to fall against him in the octagon via a unanimous decision. Prior to Texeira, Hill had defeated Thiago Santos with ground and pound, used his 6'4" height and insane reach to end Johny Walker with an overhead right in the first round. This would be his 2nd first-round KO, as he had previously finished Jimmy Crute with a brutal right hook.  But as great as the highs are, the lows have been worse for Hill- An injury that forced him to surrender his Light Heavyweight Championship title.

Jamahal Hill’s injury

Before his fight with Jan Blachowicz, which would have been his first title defense, "Sweet Dreams" tore his Achilles tendon while training. Well, he was shooting some hoops, to be precise. By his own admission, Hill loves playing Basketball and has been doing it all his life. It's something he has often used for cardio practice and to cut weight. An Achilles tendon injury can happen in a lot of ways and it was a pure misfortune that Hill would fall for something he loved doing, right before defending the 205 lbs title at UFC 290.

Now Achiless tendons take a very long time to heal and be functional the way you want, especially if you want to take Alex Pereira down to win his light heavyweight title, which has made many fans ask if the UFC has indeed rushed his return and are risking him getting another injury before the actual fight takes places on April 13. And even if he manages to walk into the octagon unscathed by doctor's reports, it's as certain as death and taxes that Poatoan will try and calf-kick his way to glory. So, all in all, Hill is about to get the fight of his life.
