Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Elite Mild Heavyweight contenders are beefing as soon as once more.
Magomed Ankalaev, Jamahal Hill, and Jiri Prochazka make up many of the division’s High 5. The latter two are former champions, whereas Ankalaev is favored by odds makers to defeat present champion Alex Pereira. There’s been phrases exchanged between all three, however “Candy Goals” specifically took offense to Prochazka’s current demand that Hill cool down.
Provided that the 2 are anticipated to battle in January, it’s not an enormous shock that Hill is speaking trash in the direction of Prochazka. His angle of assault, nonetheless, is somewhat odd. In a current YouTube video, Hill addressed Prochazka’s feedback by trashing “BJP” for getting knocked out in his final battle by “Poatan” … even though Hill additionally misplaced his final battle to Pereira within the very first spherical through KO as effectively (watch right here).
“Bro, are you kidding?” Hill responded incredulously. “So we had the identical opponent in our final battle, proper? In your final efficiency, you bought dominated. Dominated, and knocked out, fully shut down, fully uncovered, after which obtained carried out dangerous. I obtained caught, you bought dominated — there’s an enormous distinction … My man actually had your ponytail leaning to the left. I hope you put on that very same ponytail in LA so I can lean that motherf—ker again to the best for you.”
It’s an odd argument. Pereira knocked out Hill in about three minutes, and it’s not like Hill ever landed something important previous to getting floored. Prochazka’s second battle versus Pereira did certainly go terribly, however he did handle to make it to the second spherical not less than. Plus, he gained the primary spherical of their first battle, which is value … one thing?
The opposite half of Hill’s argument is evaluating their respective performances in opposition to Glover Teixeira, which has extra benefit. Hill undoubtedly beat up “Arms of Stone” quite than going life-and-death with the Brazilian nice, however he did even have the benefit of going through Teixeira after Prochazka landed 120 important strikes on the getting old legend.
Both manner, I wouldn’t count on this to be the final verbal trade between Hill and Prochazka earlier than their January showdown.
