Paint the town red!
Before tearing his Achilles tendon, Jamahal Hill overcame Glover Teixeira to win the title at UFC 283.
But the American was left in a bloody state on the way to a great victory.
He’s tough as nails and he was champion for a reason. Tonight he will have the chance to become two-time champion.
Hill’s secret weapon
Jamahal Hill revealed that he has been receiving some advice from UFC legend Israel Adesanya.
Hill said, “I had some deep technological and struggle-related questions that I had for him to pick his mind and his experience in that realm,” he said.
“He is one of the best minds we have ever had in our sport, he is one of the most experienced combat athletes in recent memory and I am always a student and always ready to learn.
“Izzy is my brother, so if he’s willing to talk, let me know, put me in the game and show me something, I’ll shut up and listen.”
