Reigning light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira recently claimed that Jiri Prochazka is a more skilled fighter than his upcoming opponent Jamahal Hill.

Far from surprising, the American former title holder did not agree with his Brazilian colleague.

“I’ve never been dominated in the striking game,” Hill told UFC.com. “I’ve been caught, I’ve had my shit rocked, some people have had some moments, but nobody has ever dominated me in any facet of striking, ever, in my life. So for me to be having this fight now and to come in and that’s all this dude does — they say he’s the best striker in the world, possibly of all time. Hell yeah, I’m excited for that because I feel that’s a title I hold; that’s a level my name should ring on.”

Jamahal Hill: ”I get on top of you, I fuck you up”

Hill claimed that Pereira has no other way to win that keeping the fight standing as the former Glory Kickboxing champion’s ground game wouldn’t be nearly good enough to challenge him.

“This dude don’t have that fucking option. He don’t have that option of ‘I’m gonna see if I can take him down.’ He grabs me, he’s fucking done! He grabs me, he’s done,” Hill said. “I’m not Jan [Blachowicz]. I’m not Jiri [Prochazka]. I’m not one of these dudes that got you on the ground and laid on you. When I get you down, I get on top of you, I fuck you up, period.”
