Jamahal Hill lashed out at the Canadian-American MMA journalist Ariel Helwani. Presently, Helwani continues to grab the attention of fight fans by interviewing MMA fighters in his podcast, The MMA Hour. The 41-year-old’s podcast is often considered a space where fighters can open up about their dreams and feelings. However, Jamahal Hill recently called out Helwani for playing with the feelings of fighters to serve his own agenda. Hill tried to prove his point by citing the example of how Helwani tried to create problems between him and Jiri Prochazka.

Jamahal Hill sat on the light heavyweight throne after Jiri Prochazka vacated his light heavyweight kingpin position due to a shoulder injury. Later, when Prochazka was getting ready to return to the UFC to fight Hill, ‘Sweet Dreams’ was forced to vacate his light heavyweight champion position as he tore his Achilles tendon. However, there were no dramatic events that broke out between Hill and Prochazka. Now, Hill has accused Helwani of trying to bring up issues between the two.
