Jamahal Hill has made a remarkable rise in the UFC rankings. Before his fight against Glover Teixeira, Hill was sitting at the 7th spot in the light heavyweight division. However, after his title win, he sits at the top of the division. Moreover, he is also ranked #13 pound-for-pound in the entire UFC. Hill’s victory against Teixeira was particularly impressive, as he was able to overcome a Brazilian legend in front of his home crowd. To win a title on the enemy territory is no small feat and showcases Hill’s skill and determination as a fighter.

Now, Hill has set his sights on another legendary fighter, Jon Jones. Jones has recently gone up to the heavyweight division. Despite this, he wants to build a fight with Jones, and embark on a journey to the top.
