Pereira revealed what he's not thinking ahead of his fight with Hill

Alex Pereira, the current UFC bantamweight champion, has spoken out about his upcoming bout with Jamal Hill.

"Before the fight and in the fight I need to concentrate and keep my composure to give my best. If we talk about Jamal's form, we can't know for sure what's wrong with him. That's something he has to answer. There is one fact - he accepted the challenge, so Jamal must be feeling good. I hope he's okay. My head isn't clogged with thoughts like 'I wish he'd come out injured' because if I had those thoughts, I'd never have a belt around my waist. It's going to be an amazing fight. Hill is a former champion and my body is ready for this fight. People often ask me what I think about my position in the rankings, but they can see the facts for themselves. You can't argue with facts, so I just show them my level every time and do my job. The best is yet to come," - quotes the words of Pereira portal UFC.

Recall, the fight Pereira - Hill will headline the 300th anniversary of the UFC tournament.
