Alex Pereira has surprising reaction to Jamahal Hill’s knockout loss at UFC 311
Hatchet buried.
Considering all the trash Jamahal Hill talked over the last several months, it would be understandable if reigning light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, took delight in Hill’s knockout loss to Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311 last weekend in Los Angeles.
“Poatan” seems more interested in moving on, now that Hill is out of the title picture.
“I have absolutely no problem with him,” Pereira (12-2) told MMA Junkie. “We’re both the same. Sometimes I’ll go and make some fun before the fight. Or he will (say something about me). But tomorrow we’re going to hold hands and respect each other. I think all the turmoil that was created is part of the sport.”
Somehow I get the impression this light heavyweight contender is taking it seriously.
The loss to Prochazka marked the second straight for Hill (12-3, 1 NC), who was stopped by Pereira at UFC 300 in April 2024. As for “Poatan,” he moves on to defend his 205-pound strap against No. 1-ranked Magomed Ankalaev atop the UFC 313 fight card in March.
Alex Pereira, the reigning middleweight champion in the kickboxing world, had a surprising reaction to Jamahal Hill’s knockout loss at UFC 311.
Many expected Pereira, who is known for his devastating striking ability, to revel in Hill’s defeat and perhaps even taunt the young up-and-comer. However, the Brazilian fighter instead showed a level of empathy and sportsmanship that caught many off guard.
In a post-fight interview, Pereira expressed his admiration for Hill’s courage and heart in the octagon, despite the devastating loss. He commended Hill for his resilience and determination, and even offered words of encouragement and support for the young fighter as he looks to bounce back from this setback.
Pereira’s unexpected reaction serves as a reminder that even in the fiercely competitive world of combat sports, there is room for compassion and camaraderie. His display of sportsmanship has earned him praise from fans and fellow fighters alike, showing that true champions are not only defined by their victories, but also by their character and grace in defeat.
