Jamahal Hill, former UFC light heavyweight champion, offered a marked shift in tone regarding his rival Alex Pereira following Pereira’s emphatic victory at UFC 320. Hill applauded Pereira’s performance and called him “impressive,” noting the Brazilian drew out energy across the division and motivated fellow contenders.
At UFC 320 in Las Vegas, Pereira reclaimed the light heavyweight title by defeating Magomed Ankalaev via first-round TKO. He landed a right hook that dropped Ankalaev and followed with ground-and-pound strikes, securing the stoppage at 1:20 of Round 1. The victory made Pereira a two-time light heavyweight champion and underscored his status as the division’s standout figure.
