Alexandre Pereira is confused because Jamahal Hill It took so long to resolve his knockout loss at UFC 300.
Hill (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) was offended by light heavyweight champion Pereira’s (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) celebration after being knocked out by him in the first round of their title fight in April.
“Sweet Dreams” said he respected Pereira’s mentor, Glover Teixeira, after he defeated him to win the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 283, so he expected the same from Pereira. “Poatan” he shot at Hill for reacting nearly two months later.
“To be honest, I don’t understand why he is doing this so late,” said Pereira Fox Sports Australia through an interpreter. “It’s been almost two months. People usually do that right away, but maybe he just woke up from the knockout.”
Pereira said, “You reap what you sow,” in response to Hill’s complaints. He explained that he didn’t like it Hill’s approach before the fight.
“It’s like you reap what you sow,” said Pereira. “During Glover’s fight, he was respectful. Glover, he earned respect in the end. With us, he was a little more disrespectful – so he got what he wore.”
Pereira is targeting a rematch with Jiri Prochazka, whom he knocked out to win the vacant 205-pound title at UFC 295. Meanwhile, Hill will look to bounce back when he faces challenger Carlos Ulberg at UFC 303, June 29, on T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
