- Alex Pereira didn’t take Jamahal Hill’s comments about his UFC 300 post-win celebration seriously
- “Poatan” insists that “Sweet Dreams” disrespected him at UFC 300 which prompted him to do the same
Alex Pereira gave a perfect response to Jamahal Hill’s long overdue comments about his UFC 300 post-win celebration.
Alex’s KO punch got Hill sleeping for too long
Hill took to Instagram his thoughts on Pereira’s post-win celebration, accusing the Brazilian of being disrespectful.
“Now I haven’t really spoke on this but I went to Brazil and DOGG WALKED your guy in one of the most one sided ass whooping in championship history and after showed nothing but respect and paid homage!! I’ve never celebrated over an opponent I beat and even called out my fans for disrespecting Johnny Walker after I slept him!! But because I showed competitive fire and was excited to be back after an injury that could of ended my career y’all think this is was funny or cool!! @alexpoatanpereira you really setup a punch you couldn’t get to without a weird confusing moment and did some weak shit but it ok because you will fight me again and my eyes won’t leave you until your as stiff as Izzy left you in Miami!!!,” Hill wrote on Instagram.
Speaking to Fox Sports Australia, “Poatan” couldn’t help but mock “Sweet Dreams” over his late comments about UFC 300.
“To be honest, I don’t get why he’s doing this so late,” Pereira said through an interpreter. “It’s been almost two months. People usually do that right away, but maybe he just woke up from the knockout.”
Alex said Hill disrespected him
To clears things up, Pereira recognized how Hill respected Glover Teixeira during their title fight. However, “Poatan” claims that “Sweet Dreams” did the complete opposite against him.
“It’s kind of like you harvest what you seed,” Pereira added. “During Glover’s fight, he was respectful. Glover, he got respect at the end. With us, he was a bit more disrespectful. So, he got what he put on.”
Based on Hill’s statement, he is yearning for a rematch with Pereira. However, Pereira seems to be disinterested in a rematch and wants to move up to heavyweight.
As for the UFC, Pereira’s request is unlikely to happen at this point. Instead, the reigning light heavyweight champion could possibly be running it back with Jiri Prochazka.
