Phew! UFC 291 brought along some major upsets and controversies. On one hand, Joe Rogan amusingly forgot a fighter’s weight. On another side, Lightweight Bobby Green pummeled veteran Tony Ferguson to take the win. And last but not least, Alex Pereira’s bizarre round-three decision Light Heavyweight debut win over Jan Blachowicz.

The ‘Poatan’ definitely brought the fight to his Polish rival. The duo were mostly even, with some occasional sparks from both the 205ers. However, it was the damage of Pereira’s punches that separated the two and edged him closer to another UFC title. But Pereira’s win has landed the UFC in a lot of speculation. Even former Light Heavyweight champ Jamahal Hill, who relinquished the title quite a while back, wasn’t too happy about it. Well, what has the ex-champ said that has echoed throughout the community?

The former Light Heavyweight champ had some scathing remarks about the 205 division. However, underlying the remarks – a sense of dissatisfaction prevails. Ever since his claim to the title was pushed aside by the UFC due to his unfortunate injury, he has been quite vocal about his opinions. Now, adding another one of his POVs to the list, he has shared this Tweet on his Twitter handle.

 

With a strong sense of anticipation for his return, Hill referred to his fellow fighters in the division as “boys” while likening himself to a “Lion.” The message was clear – he is eager to reclaim his position as the true king of the 205 lbs division.

According to sources, ‘Sweet Dreams’ may be back in the Octagon in six to twelve weeks. Will he come back to take what’s rightfully his?
