@@bauerpower83 No that's not how it happened at all... Alex simultaneously moved forward as Herb called time, It's not like Alex saw Herb call time and thought 'this is my chance' it was a simultaneous action, then Hill asked Alex if he was ok with a thumbs up as Alex took a step back, they touched gloves, Herb tells them to go, Hill takes a small step to the left, Alex matched Hills footwork by taking a small step to his right, that's when Alex aggressively started moving forward looking for the left hook, Hill then plants his feet, tries to counter Alex's forward motion with a straight left, which Alex slips then lands his left hook. Don't give me that rubbish saying Hill wasn't ready, 1st of all Hill should go read the official mma rules about fouls, the way herb handled that was 100% spot on, he did nothing wrong. 2nd. Alex was the one who absorbed an illegal strike, why should Alex be penalized with a reset, if he doesn't need or want one? 3rd. Hill gave a thumbs up, and they touched gloves, Hill was ready to go. 4th. Hill threw his punch BEFORE Alex did, more proof Hill was ready, the difference is Alex slipped Hill's punch, and landed his. 5th If you've been watching mma for more than a month you'd know this happens all the time, a fighter gets fouled, then that fouled fighter waives off the ref and they continue the action immediately, just like Alex did. 6th. As Hill likes to say but still makes excuses anyway: "protect yourself at all times" As for Jiri.. I agree it was early, but Jiri did get dropped twice within the span of 10 seconds, then Alex took the full mount position when Goddard stopped it. I think the stoppage was early too, but as Alex just proved, his ground and pound is deadly, he most likely would've ko'd Jiri from full mount. Goddard is trash, he always stops fights early.
Only good point he made, “if you could do it, you would be doing it. If you had the skill that I have , you would be doing it.” Respect to all top level fighters bro.
"He dosnt fight well against Southpaw, i was a Southpaw" - the guy who got KO'ed in less than 3 minutes
I do believe that Jamahal will improve and will fight again for the belt against Alex. He is more motivated now than ever. With that Alex via round 1 KO.
Good luck to the guy but I think he’s not making the right decision. I think he needs a mental coach to help to him get over the Alex loss
This fight can either make or break Hill. Khalil is known to shit the bed in big fights, however Hill wether he believes it or not was knocked unconscious and has not recovered. If he gets knocked out again that could be the beginning of the end.
Thanks for the video, MIDDLEEASY
That’s the problem when you get KO there is no visible damage, he should take a break. Especially after what happened to Volk after he got Ko

Great interview. James Lynch is one of the best in the business. Good to see Jamahal is in good spirits and ready to battle again. I love how he brought up basketball. I played college basketball too. And the trash talk in that sport, makes trash talk in fight sports sound like a bunch of elementary school kids yelling at recess. 😎👍🏽
Unified rules of MMA, Section 15, Subsection G, Par. ii: if the fighter states that they can continue on before the 5 minutes of time has expired, the referee shall, as soon as practical, restart the fight. Alex waived Herb off after Hill’s foot connected with AP’s cup (wherever it landed last, the hollow sound of a steel/ plastic cup is incontravertibly audible). Herb called “time out”. Alex hopped **once** simultaneously *as* Herb was calling “time out”. Herb then called “time in” and Hill and Alex formally reengaged by *tapping gloves* then hand fought twice before alex faked a right as Hill threw his first left straight which Alex slipped and deflected before countering with a left shovel cut. There was appox 3-4 seconds of hand-fighting after tapping gloves for Hill to have refocused. Alex won the handle-battle and foot position before the time out was called. Hill was check-mated fair and square. In a championship title fight one should never lose focus even for a millisecond. There are *no* excuses, ever (least of all headlining a historic UFC 300 PPV titlefight). Credit to Luke Thomas (for fight analysis) and John McCarthy (reg. rules and regs) who break this fight down in detail.
02:35 I was expecting him to reply like "was not a loss, it was technically a loss"
12:25 bruh this interviewer is really trying so hard to make jamahal hill take his anger out to the fans then got the answer he wasn’t expecting hill to reply lol. I swear this interviewer had always been trying to take a jab at fans, like stay professional bro, no need to bring in your personal issues with the fans 19:47 i swear this dude needs to keep his personal issues with the fans to himself. He sounded like a child telling his parents about how he got bullied at school. Props to hill tho for not just giving into his immature bait into taking his anger out to the fans. Shows the level of maturity between the interviewee and interviewer. Also shows the level of what hill accomplished throughout his life compared to the interviewer because hill doesnt after all need to get triggered by the fans after what he accomplished unlike this interviewer
He wasn't fully knocked out. He's got a point. To be knocked out completely you must be unconscious, unable to respond physically and emotionally. He was only HALF out, his body could still respond, mainly his brain was what was processing in shock . It was just a technical knock-out.
Even Izzy acknowledges Pererias skills. It is crazy people trying to knock Pereria he is literally one of the best strikers in the history of the UFC. Hill didn’t get caught he literally got picked apart

Jamal is working double at the salt mines
If they ever rematch & Hill is 100% he'll smoke Poatan.
Shoutout to Hill though
i see how that played a part. Jamal probably still thinking about the nutt shot, was it even a nut shot, glove tap. no fault of Alex but that definitely is how he ko jamal at that moment, i think he would have won anyways by ko/tko but just a bit later
So is he blaming that he was too nice or he wasn’t ready? Jamahal you were knocked out fair and square.
The more of these interviews of Hill I see with his salty attitude, the less of a fan I’m becoming
they prolly offered him jiri or khalil and he took khalil but i dont blame him
Bros rushing... salty, unfortunately it seems it will be his eagerness/over-aggressiveness getting him in trouble. Khalil is a beast lets see how this goes. I like Jamahal but hes not taking his loss to Alex well at all. Wish him a good bounce back
Damn the host had to throw in “the house you rent” in Vegas. wtf. Chill dog.
Salt personified
Guys here are talking about Jamahal as sort of a bum and a no good fighter. Get in the ring with him and you guys probably wont even last a minute. If this guy becomes a champ again, the same guys who are quick to say he's a bum will start to get back in his bandwagon again. At some point in the future, he and Alex hopefully get to rematch and it will be a war regardless of who's gonna win. War Jamahal 'Sweetdreams' Hill. Dont let these trolls put you down.
Stay up sweet dreams hope you sleep Khalil

I get selling the fight but Hill did it in a strange way… The trash talk about being able to be a champion kick boxer and how he hadn’t seen skills like Hill had was just didn’t land because it was so silly. Like Hill is a tough guy but doesn’t have anything special other than that.
