Jamahal Hill casts doubt on Alex Pereira ahead of UFC 300 fight: ‘Show me him outclassing somebody’

Former undisputed light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill appears to be less than sold on the ability and perceived dominance of new gold holder, Alex Pereira, questioning if the Brazilian has ever handily swept through an opponent before their UFC 300 title fight next month.

Hill, the current number one ranked light heavyweight contender, has been sidelined since January of last year, snatching the vacant crown in a unanimous decision win over ex-champion, Glover Teixeira on enemy territory in Brazil.

And forced to vacate the light heavyweight crown back in November, Hill had ruptured his achilles in the summer during a pick-up basketball game during International Fight Week.
