Things nearly escalated when Brazilian champion Alex Pereira and American fighter Jamahal Hill crossed paths at the UFC Performance Institute. This encounter was anything but friendly and almost turned into a physical confrontation.
A look back at UFC 300:
In the UFC 300 main event last April, Pereira proved his dominance by delivering a devastating first-round KO to Jamahal Hill, retaining his light heavyweight title. Since that crushing defeat, Hill has been relentlessly demanding a rematch against “Poatan.”
Meanwhile, Pereira hasn’t held back in mocking Hill, frequently reminding everyone of his brutal victory.
Tense scene at the Performance Institute:
In a video shared by Full Send MMA on X, Jamahal Hill approached Pereira during a boxing training session. In an attempt to provoke the Brazilian champion, Hill received an explosive response: Pereira threw his boxing gloves at him, openly challenging him to a fight.
However, Hill ignored the direct challenge, continuing instead to taunt Pereira verbally. The situation nearly turned into a brawl, highlighting the growing animosity between the two fighters.
A rematch on the horizon?
With tensions boiling over, MMA fans might soon witness the highly anticipated rematch between Pereira and Hill. Will Hill succeed in luring Pereira back into the cage? Or will Pereira maintain his dominance and brush off his rival? The coming months promise plenty of drama and action!
