The Jamahal Hill who knocked out Johnny Walker was the man that fans absolutely got behind. The Jamahal Hill that got knocked out by Alex Pereira is the man fans are brutally trolling. And why not? The former light heavyweight champion doesn’t look like he took his UFC 300 loss in stride, doubling down on his bid that he got caught due to a slip and not because ‘Poatan’ was the better fighter. The MMA community has been absolutely brutal in its trolling of ‘Sweet Dreams’, but it looks like Hill had an ace up his sleeve in the form of an Instagram post. What’s even more, the hilarious post got reactions from Daniel Cormier, Israel Adesanya, and even Belal Muhammad as well.

The former light-heavyweight champion took to his Instagram handle to upload a montage of his critics (with Angel by Sarah McLachlan in the background) and captioned it as, “Just remember, these are the mfs calling professional fighters bums and talking tough online.” Former two-weight champion Daniel Cormier responded with laughing emojis, just like Israel Adesanya and Belal Muhammad. ‘Stylebender’ took it a notch further and shared Hill’s post on his Instagram story.

“You know what’s funny to me about your post is that the second guy, I have a folder as well, where I keep these guys like screenshots just for myself on my own phone,” said Adesanya through voice note. He further added, “Once in a blue moon, I look at them and I just laugh at them like, “Oh, let me fill that up.” So the second guy, I will send you a pic as well; he is on my folder as well.”

If you’re a bold personality making big statements, expect a certain section of the fans to become your haters. That’s just the name of the game, particularly in an unforgiving sport like mixed martial arts. Jamahal Hill might be on the receiving end of hate from fans, but he’s doing a really good job in keeping himself relevant. And that’s exactly what he’s doing with regard to his upcoming fight against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311.

Jamahal Hill intensifies beef with Jiri Prochakza ahead of UFC 311

‘Battle of the Former Champions’ is the name that should be given to the clash between Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill. The duo will fight each other at the UFC 311 at the Inuit Dome in Inglewood, California. Interestingly, both fighters are coming off of a knockout loss against the reigning champion, Alex Pereira and this fight could be a chance to redeem themselves, and possibly make their way back to the title. Amidst the chaos, and much to the entertainment of fans, both fighters have been calling each other out black and blue.

After Jiri Prochakza claimed that Jamahal Hill has a negligible fight IQ inside the Octagon, ‘Sweet Dreams’ went on a rant on his YouTube channel, “Bro, are you kidding me?”. He further added, “So we had the same opponent last fight, right? In your last performance, you got dominated – dominated and knocked out, completely shut down, completely exposed, and then got done bad. I got caught, (but) you got dominated. There’s a huge difference. My man literally had your ponytail leaning to the left. I hope you wear that same ponytail in L.A. so I can lean that motherf—er to the left right back for you.”

The light heavyweight division is rife with action with three contenders at the top vying for a title shot against Alex Pereira. Since Pereira’s ascent to the light heavyweight championship, the division’s machinery is in full swing, especially after being in a state of limbo following Jon Jones’ departure from 205 pounds. With Hill and Prochazka, fans can expect an incredible fight backed by a heated rivalry. This one’s for the fans.
