Jamahal Hill responds to Alex Pereira: 'We both know the fear that was in your heart!!'
Jamahal Hill continues to offer an interesting perspective on his first meeting against UFC champion Alex Pereira, and vows to meet him again in the octagon.
The last time Hill (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) competed was against Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) in the main event of UFC 300. Hill was knocked out a few seconds after Pereira waved off referee Herb Dean’s intervention after a low blow. Since that moment, Hill has offered plenty of commentary on what occurred inside the cage that night.
At UFC 311, Hill will have the opportunity to earn another crack at Pereira if he can get past another fellow former light heavyweight champion, Jiri Prochazka. It’s a fight “Poatan” is also keeping a close eye on.
“Calm down, my son. Pass this test, and Dad will give you a second chance,” Pereira wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in a post with a faceoff photo of Hill and Prochazka.
Soon after the social media message, Hill responded with a few words of his own, criticizing Pereira’s differences in approach to recent opponents while vowing to earn his rematch.
“Beat it funny how you rushed lil ass roundtree and dumbass Jiri like you were the man but waited until the refs got in the way to swing at me!!!” Hill wrote in a quote reply. “You will see me again at 100% soon and we both know the fear that was in your heart!!”

Since knocking out Hill, Pereira has gone on to record two more title defenses by stopping Prochazka at UFC 303 and Khalil Rountree at UFC 307.
