Cormier: "If Hill beats Pereira, his star will shine brighter than ever"

To do so, the American needs to take the title away from current division leader Brazilian Alex Pereira at UFC 300, which takes place April 13 in Las Vegas.

"The person who fights for the championship gets the most. And for me, that's Jamal Hill. He's never lost a title, and now he's fighting for the title again with a dual champion that everyone thinks walks on water. If he wins, his star will shine brighter than ever," Cormier said on ESPN.
