Alex Pereira shocked the world with his performance at UFC 300 in his title defense fight. The Brazilian entered the fight with a dislocated toe. However, his injury did not affect his performance against ‘Sweet Dreams’. ‘Poatan’ knocked his challenger out despite getting kicked in the groin. Referee Herb Dean tried to stop the fight, but the champion had unique plans. Hill recently took to his YouTube channel to share his opinion on the infamous low-blow kick.

The former champion said, “Now there was a fight and a lot of people have a lot to say. I’ve seen some of the controversy of people speaking on the stoppage and things like that. With Herb after I kicked Alex in the hip, and it appeared to be a low blow. And I’m just going to say just protect yourself at all times, you know. My feelings on it honestly just don’t matter, you know. Just for the simple fact, a lot of people didn’t like how I sold the fight. They didn’t like the buildup to the fight, you know. They don’t like me personally. So it’s irrelevant. I just take it as a lesson learnt. And just grow from it from there.”

Hill seems to have moved on from the loss and is all set to feature at UFC 303. The former champion will be taking on Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 303. In his recent video, he cleared up why he took on the fight in such a short period.
