News BREAKING: Jamahal Hill injured (ruptured achilles), relinquishes LHW title

[StunGUNsEXYAMA**]

God damn it....

Glover ruining everyone just should have let him win

 

[HatKick]

Damn that's a tough one.

Respect to Hill for doing the honorable thing. Always liked the guy

 

[wildchild88]

Farrrkkkk ruptured Achilles, that's brutal man.

Jamahal is cool too, that sucks bad..

 

[StunGUNsEXYAMA**]

Glover vs anthony Smith for the title


Then glover vs periera

Alex does the poke of doom.and wins title from glover

 

[Neck&Neck]

Just give the belt to whoever is healthy and wants to fight

 

[The_Renaissance]

Didn't see this coming at all. Fairplay to him for relinquishing it, don't think he gets it back either.

Jan/Poatan winner vs. Jiri I imagine for the vacant title, around Xmas time.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

he's clearly distraught. wow, what a bummer. hope he recovers quickly.

 

[MMAProfessional]

Props to Hill for following the Samurai code and relinquishing the title out of honour and nobility.

For real though, he posted a pic the other day looking like he just rolled off the couch after going on a burger king and Netflix marathon.

Dude has been WAY out of shape since winning the title. I have a feeling this didn't just happen. My guess is Jiri faces the winner of Jan and Alex.

This is what I was thinking. I've heard nothing about Jiri tho.

 

[usernamee]

fuck I don't even wanna listen to him talk about that injury, so gruesome

makes me wanna google prehab exercises and good stretches for the achilles to prevent shit like this from happening

 

[Conan the K-9]

This is what I was thinking. I've heard nothing about Jiri tho.

Unfortunately, I don’t think Jiri will be ready to fight 2023.

[The-AxeMurderer]

This division is wild.

 

[pick999]

Glover can get another rematch vs jiri

 

[Conan the K-9]

Well That’s great news and I really do hope is fully healed and ready to go when he decides to so and that we will not see some shady undeserved titleshots to save cards in shady places.

 

[Morris88]

Sad news about Hill, great news that Jiri is healthy and ready to get back in there though. Division really is cursed!

 

[SherdogWasNeverMyFriend]

I definitely hope they don't rush to make Jan vs Pereira a title fight, UFC 291 doesn't need them to do that. Ankalaev has the best claim to the title now considering most people thought he beat Jan. (including Jan himself in the cage after the fight)

It was a fair draw. 1,2,3 Jan and 4,5 Ankalaev with the 5th round being scored as 10-8. Some even thought that the last round shouldn't be scored as 10-8 because of course, it was dominant, but it's not like Ank battered there Jan or something. As for Jan's post-fight speech, he has already said it many times that he felt he was put on the spot by Rogan. He only remembered the last two rounds where he got controlled on the ground and didn't really remember what happened in the first three. Therefore, it is not reasonable to cite his immediate reaction as a valid argument. Especially since his first statement was that he thinks he didn't win that fight, but he also doesn't know if he lost it and needs to watch it first. He also mentioned that he feels dizzy, but Rogan kept pressuring him, so Jan told him what he thought they wanted to hear.

 

[dittohead84]

I'd be surprised if he makes a comeback. A ruptured achilles in your 30's is a disaster.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

Izzy vs Perieira for the belt

 

[Sincere Guy]

Pereira vs Blachowicz needs to be for the title now. Ankalaev (or Jiri, if he is ready) fights the champ right after.
