The fans think that Jamahal Hill may need more than just advice for his fight against Alex Pereira at UFC 300! ‘Sweet Dreams’ claimed the UFC light heavyweight title against Glover Teixeira, ‘Poatan’s mentor and friend, at UFC 283 in January 2023. However, his reign was cut short due to an Achilles injury that led him to vacate the title just a few months later.

Alex Pereira then claimed the vacant belt against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295 last year by finishing his opponent in the second round of their fight. Now, the two men are scheduled to clash at the historic UFC 300 event, with Hill’s history with Teixeira adding another intriguing element to the narrative surrounding the bout.

The post contained a screenshot from a call between Adesanya and Hill and was captioned, “Picking one of the greatest minds is (in) the history of the sport!!! @stylebender”.

Fans are in Alex Pereira’s corner as Jamahal Hill gets trolled for “getting advice” 

The fan reactions highlighted a significant degree of doubt and skepticism surrounding Jamahal Hill’s decision to seek advice from Israel Adesanya. Here’s a look at what the online community had to say:

Fans jokingly referred to Adesanya’s last win against Alex Pereira as a blueprint that Hill might have received from ‘The Last Stylebender’ during their conversation

“Eat as many punches as you can and pray to land a shot that lets you celebrate like Robin Hood”

Others made references to the history between Adesanya and Pereira as their reasoning behind being skeptical about the interaction with Hill

“Getting advice from a guy who lost 3 times to Poatan”

Some even pointed out Pereira’s recent comments where he indicated that he would be open to training with Adesanya if they never fought again and slammed Adesanya for his behavior

“Crazy how Alex has even wanted to be Izzy’s friend and train with him now, and Izzy is still being a complete child. Izzy is unbearable at this point lol.”

Many seem to think that Hill’s preparation is just leading to the inevitable outcome of ‘Poatan’ ending the fight with his signature move

“All that to catch a left hook in rnd 2”

Some claimed that if Hill were to lose this bout, it would count as a loss for Adesanya instead

“If Hill loses, another loss for Izzy”

Fans also pointed out that while Hill can take advice from Adesanya, replicating the same inside the Octagon may not be as easy for the former champion
