Jamal Hill, former UFC light heavyweight champion, will not return to the octagon until the end of 2026 due to knee surgery.

ā€œIt turns out that the cartilage in my knee was almost nonexistent, so I had to undergo a cartilage transplant. In my recent fights, I wasn’t jumping, moving, or kicking as I should have. I tried to avoid the surgery because I really wanted to get my belt back,ā€ the American said in an interview with sports commentator James Lynch.
