Prior to their clash at UFC 311, Jamahal Hill sent a heated message to Jiri Prochazka through his YouTube channel. He claimed, “I put on dominant performances. You survive and get a win. We’re not the same.” The trash talk continued with ‘Sweet Dreams’ oozing out confidence at the pre-fight press conference and the media day. However, fate seemed to have a different plan. It was actually ‘The Czech Samurai’ who secured the win over Hill. And the win came via a knockout in the third minute of the third round.

Needless to say, Hill was broken to the core by the unfortunate defeat. While walking out of the Intiut Dome, Los Angeles, ‘Sweet Dreams’ fell to his knees and shed tears of disappointment. His teammates tried to console him, but the pain of the loss seemed a bit too high. Nevertheless, he displayed a bit of his fighting spirit by recovering. He gave out a shout before walking away with tears welling up in his eyes. 

Xcellent MMA took charge of sharing the heartbreaking moment on Instagram. The post was captioned, “Jamahal Hill was absolutely devastated after Jiri Prochazka loss.” No doubt, the entire world of mixed martial arts felt the pain in the Chicagoan fighter’s behavior. However, some of the fans believed that he deserved the defeat to get humbled.
