[@aboodthebest7726]

Unfinished business? Bro, just went to the Shadow realm

[@notktm]

So the severity of the knockout in damage itself is the reflection of someone’s deserving of a rematch? Noted abood the best 7726

[@thenotorious2627]

There is no unfinished business he got KOed and he can’t handle a loss at all we need hill vs his brother 2

[@Lilpokeball]

Nah we need you vs your husband next

[@toemasmeems]

Wow that is so trashy to bring up a man’s personal life like that, but go off you’re a natural Conor McGregor!

​@@toemasmeemsso trashy? Jamal is the fool that suckerpunched his brother over cleaning a house?

[@ottolotto7057]

There isn’t any business with pereira anymore . You had 25 minutes to handle it and pereira was too much for you .

[@dilarch5957]

Jamahal "Anthony on paper Smith" Hill. Dude is delusional, he threw a punch too! I'ts not like Alex threw when he was distracted.

[@newstepdad4103]

i genuinely haven’t seen him address that yet, why is no one saying anything ?

[@tomr8742]

New name should be Jamahal “Sweet Delusions” Hill from now on.

[@wingchunbox]

Why did I know he was going to be stubborn and not except the loss. And for Jamal to think he was putting in work before the KO. I think Alex saw how inaccurate Hills punches were… dude was literally punching air missing by a least a foot. Watch the replay his eyes roll back and his left leg folds under him and the minute he hits the ground he wakes up and his eyes get huge! He got slept and woke up. He says if they run it back… he dominates Alex! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ WOW

[@kenmenezes4093]

Everyone who fought Alex said they were doing well in the fight until they get punched in the face. That left hook is pure power. Then it’s a different story.

[@user-bx9el9xr8n]

That the only fight where a fighter who was sent to shadow realm declared he dominated that fight. 😂😂😂

[@cky163100]

Jamaal hill is the male Version of Ronda rousey 😂

[@Peapodzilla]

Nah dont do him dirty like that

[@ahmadniazi1499]

So a win over Khalil Rountree who isn’t even a contender is going to get you a title shot? After you just got brutally KO’d by the champion?

[@mugen11120]

He was a champion goofy you could literally make this argument for several fighters 😂 you do realize Islam became champion by fighting Bobby green right? Dustin lost to Justin and beat bsd and is getting a title shot are you new here ?

[@ahmadniazi1499]

@@mugen11120 Islam didnt get knocked out in a championship fight and the contenders didn't want to fight him, bad example. Dustin is getting the title shot because airman isn't ready and the UFC want to keep islam busy, again bad example. If the fight between Hill and Alex was close they would give him the title shot if he beats Khalil, but it wasn't close and Hill got KO'd in 3 minutes. Make sense?

[@Chadking-fc4vy]

​@@ahmadniazi1499casual!!! Your lying contenders did want 2 fight him... They just don't really care 2 when he's low ranked bum! Lol u gain nothing from fighting Islam when he's 12 th ranked and your top 5 get in reality nobody ducked Islam. Your making excuses he beat Dan hooker and boobie green green wasn't ranked both took the fight on short notice. No more arguing brown soyboy

[@Chadking-fc4vy]

​@@ahmadniazi1499na it's cuz they want money and Dustin makes them some money . Could wait a month or so and give it 2 Armen. It's pretty clear why Dustin is getting it . He beat number 13 in the world now fighting for belt after getting kod! Ahahayayaaahahha pathetic!!!!! Embarrassing!!!! Let's not act like ppl get title shots all the time from less!

[@Chadking-fc4vy]

Btw I don't disagree with hill needing more then 1 win for title shot

[@Cav_Florian]

Pereira style is like Khalil but also Khalil styles is better? Jamahal is hilarius...

[@marciocruz6973]

Unfinished? It really seems that punch affected the brain and took his memory. After being finished like that what do you want to see more? Always getting backwards incapable to stop Alex advance and doing nothing at the fight. There's nothing else to see. Is he a amateur to bring the excuse "protect yourself at all times"?

[@briansarah2745]

Dude looks like he wants to cry

[@ottolotto7057]

Ion blame him , he got knocked out in the first round on the biggest ufc fight card ever

[@videosacaocriativa4996]

Biggest BS ever. At this stage and still need to learn how to lose. You guys touched gloves and he put you to sleep, period. Blame Herb Dean is childish. Be a real fighter man, and stop making excuses.

[@nyashnader1]

Jamahal actually thinks he was controlling the fight because he was throwing a bunch of strikes.. pereira displayed a masterclass performance. He completely nulled all strikes Jamahal was throwing and was setting him up for the left hook. Jamahal showing his ego outweighs his sense

[@swaggydesh4997]

Can we all admit Anthony Smith is LESS delusional than Hill😂😂😂😂😂

[@blank9o243]

Dry ass interview 😂

[@Dvsone2012]

Unfinished business?

[@dustinrobinson58]

Great interview questions.Jamahal is delusional .🤷‍♂️

[@zStC1]

Lookin sucked back, dont do drugs boys

[@FenrirHdz38328]

A lot of people were against the first fight between Alex and Jamal, I wasn't one of them. I thought that Jamal deserved that fight, but now he needs to go and climb the hill again, and just shut up about this "robbery" that he says that happened, he's going to lose credibility and fans.

[@timw4432]

Lol homie is delusional af. Poatan put that business into liquidation, it's closed for good.

[@nyashnader1]

9:54 man I really wanted to have respect for Jamahal after his loss but he’s proving to be completely lost in his ego. Domestic abuser for a reason this dude blames the world and is angry inside, he says he’s in a dangerous place mentally which is not a good sign for anyone close to him

[@williamcarbajal8823]

Jamahal acting really thirsty for that Alex payday probably the biggest purse he ever got 😂

[@stxble9978]

bro said in the rematch i dominate💀💀

[@itsthereal47]

After seeing Jamal battle Glover recently, I do believe he's better than what we saw against Alex. However, I am interested to see how he does against Roundtree. Roundtree's dangerous and surging. I hope he doesn't look past him.

[@Natsu4495]

Alex is taller longer and stronger than glover.

[@itsthereal47]

@@Natsu4495 True. What about the Izzy knockout at 185? Consider that what happened to Alex against Izzy, also happened to Hill against Alex.

[@Natsu4495]

@@itsthereal47 The difference is levels. Pereira and izzy are pretty matched. It always competitive. But pereira was way above hill in striking. Hill has no head movements , no footwork . He thought he was doing well while pereira was just trying to set up his left hook the whole time

[@itsthereal47]

I'm only addressing what you said about size. DC finished Stipe easy.

[@suarezjunior6281]

Bro looks humbled!

[@giobaz]

For god sake, just admit u lost. Be a man about it. Ur becaming a joke.

[@kenmenezes4093]

He is acing on life ….until he gets knocked out.

[@robbyclark2863]

Jamal came back quickly after his injury, excited to see him back in there

[@MorAodhan]

This is a clear example of an individual who fights but isn't a martial artist. He can not accept defeat and give credit to his opponent, the better fighter. We need less of the personalities in the sport and culture.

[@lebraa]

Hes gonna stand with alex. And gonna rub it in on our face after he KNOCKS HIM OUT.

Joker clown!

[@rockverso55]

Alex continua colecionando mentes e almas dos lutadores e corações dos admiradores do MMA.

[@FF-wl1oo]

Don't think will happen. Rematch with Prochazka seems probable, because UFC don't want Pereira in HW just yet, Jones stated that possibly after Miocic. And from the talks, it seems that rematch with Prochazka in LHW will happen now. But after that, no rematch with Hill I don't think.

[@BamOn742]

Eyes rolled back , pounded out after his first left straight punch that alex saw then... finished him lol... unfinished brain damage is the only thing we all saw

[@ronyvarghese5271]

Can Jamahal win against likes of Jiri, Magomed. It’s very unlikely that even guys like Viktor n rakic will pose much of big competition to jamahal.

[@rickymendoza6173]

Roundtree is gonna tko hill

he didn’t even have a fighting chance

Alex should fight Ankalaev, and Jamahal should fight Jiri for the next title shot. Loser of Alex/Ankalaev should fight loser of Jiri/Jamahal.

[@benharry8324]

And just like that, UFC matchmakers are jobless .DDD

[@julius66411]

nah bro we shouldn't just keep this top 5 fighting eachother and forget about 6-10 guys let alex fight jiri in rematc halex said that most likely next would be ankalaev later this year and let jamahal hill fight 2 more fight before title fight and if jiri and magomed lose don't let them fight each other let them fight 5-10 contenders

[@giobaz]

Why on earth would Jiri wanna fight Hill. Jiri finished hes fight while Hill was humiliated in the first round...

​@giobaz because they havent fought and they both are former champs who lost to alex LoL and they were sposed to have fought already anyway
