Jamahal Hill plots rematch with Alex Pereira after booking UFC 303 return: ‘I will put him to sleep’

Booking a quickfire return to action less than a week removed from his UFC 300 headliner loss to Alex Pereria in the pair’s light heavyweight title clash, Jamahal Hill has vowed to rematch the Brazilian in the future – and put him “to sleep” in a future re-run.

Hill, a former undisputed light heavyweight gold holder, and the current number three ranked contender at 205 pounds, headlined UFC 300 last weekend in a massive title clash against Sao Paulo knockout artist, Pereira.
