Jamal Hill explained in a recent interview why he agreed to return to the octagon at the end of June, even though he suffered an early loss to Alex Pereira in mid-April.
"I didn't take any damage. I remember everything as I was falling, as I looked up and saw his feet. I remember him coming in close and I tried to block him, reach for the underhook. He was able to land a few punches and I floated a little bit, but I was fully conscious most of the time. So, I decided to take the fight. We're moving forward. I'm ready and I'm going to prove myself against Khalil Rountree. He's going to feel everything. He's going to feel all the frustration that I feel because of what happened last week. I'm coming back and I have a goal - I want Alex. I want to get that fight again."

Aljamain Sterling, a former UFC flyweight champion who recently made a successful debut in the welterweight division, would not want Max Holloway, a former featherweight champion, to return to the division.
"Gaethje missed a clean punch right to the jaw. Dudes, it was beautiful, the right overhand lied right on target. Unfortunately, Gatji had to absorb it, that's the way the game is. I know what it's like to fall face first and it sucks, hope Gatji is ok.I'm a fan of both guys and that was awesome. I hope Max leaves his ass at lightweight. We don't want him to come back," Sterling said on The MMA Hour podcast.
Former UFC middleweight champion American Sean Strickland has once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in his country.
Not too long ago, Aljamain Sterling expressed his dissatisfaction with his win over Kelvin Kattar. He said that he needed to win more convincingly. However, earlier today, Sterling posted a video on his YouTube channel in which he called the win the most dominant win on the UFC 300 card.
"Our fight with Kattar at UFC 300 wasn't the most exciting fight, I agree. But it was the most dominant win in the entire card. I was probably in the top 3 in the tournament in terms of dominating my opponent. And it's important to look at this in context - Kattar usually throws 4-5 punches per minute on average. I cut that down to 0.5 per 15 minutes," Sterling said in a video on his channel.

Yevloyev responded to Sterling's words almost immediately, writing the following post on his social media accounts:
"It was brave of you to talk about me. I love it. Call the UFC and fight me. I'm ready!".
Recall, on April 14 at UFC 300 Anniversary, Sterling made a successful debut in the welterweight division, beating Kelvin Kattar by unanimous decision of the judges.
Aljamain Sterling, former UFC lightweight champion, admitted he was afraid of Kelvin Kattar before their fight.
"Zabit knocked me out in training in 2017 when I was even smaller than I am now and had no idea who he was. The fight with Kelvin scared me because I saw how good Kattar was in the fight with Zabit. So before the fight itself, I had a lot of insecurity. It wasn't clear to me what was going to happen. So for the performance in this fight I can put myself "excellent", - wrote in his social networks Sterling.
Recall, Sterling beat Kattar by decision at the anniversary UFC 300.
On the night of April 20, PFL 3: 2024 Regular Season took place at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, USA. Andrey Koreshkov and Magomed Umalatov from Russia shared the cage in the main event.
