Jamal Hill, the former UFC light heavyweight champion, spoke about when he learned that his fight with Alex Pereira would headline the organization's 300th anniversary event.
“I only found out about the organization of the fight when I entered the arena during UFC 298. So we only discussed everything the day before the announcement. I'm looking forward to the fight. Alex is doing incredible things, he has won two belts in seven fights. I want to go into the octagon and evaluate my skills against him.
Participating in UFC 300 is a big deal. This means that they believe in my skills. I can prove myself at an event of this magnitude, it doesn’t happen often. But until yesterday I didn’t even think about UFC 300. The situation was simple - the UFC needed a main fight. They had some ideas, but the option of my fight with Alex was a priority,” MMA Fighting quotes Hill.
