Let us remind you that last weekend at the UFC 295 tournament, Pereira knocked out Jiri Prochazka in the second round and won the vacant belt.
“Mark my words: I’m not going to take him to the ground and I’m not going to fight him. And even though you all think he's an incredible striker just because he's a former kickboxer, I'll fight him stand-up and knock him out.
After I do this, I will throw it in the face of each of you who disrespected me. I am the best in my division and one of the best fighters in the world. That’s why I call myself a king,” Hill said in the latest episode of his YouTube channel.
