Jamahal Hill points to Dana White’s ‘desperation’ while talking about how the UFC 300 main event came to be

Jamahal Hill, after getting his name announced for the UFC’s 300^th main event, is in the midst of many debates about the whole scenario behind his name selection. To put the spotlight on the same, the former UFC light heavyweight champion pointed out the desperation of Dana White.

Fans were disappointed after discovering that Jamahal Hill’s name was included in the UFC 300 main event title bout. Most MMA fans were expecting something bigger than Hill’s name, but Jamahal’s new revelation can turn out to be a shocker for them.

Jamahal Hill explains how the UFC 300 main event came to be

With less than two months left until UFC 300, fans are eagerly awaiting the full card announcement for the event. The main focus of anticipation surrounds who will be headlining the title bout. Dana White recently revealed backstage at UFC 298 that Alex Pereira will defend the UFC light heavyweight title against Jamahal Hill.

This announcement came after White had previously promised to unveil the main event at the last Super Bowl event. Despite the hype surrounding the promise, the UFC president failed to announce the main event title bout for UFC 300 at the NFL event.

According to Jamahal Hill, it seems like the UFC president’s announcement of the UFC 300 main event card is driven by desperation. In an interview, Hill stated, “Everybody wanted to headline 300. Everybody wants to be on 300, but realistically, it didn’t really come on my radar. It didn’t really happen until yesterday. I’m not even going to lie. I’m not even going to lie—like, yesterday, when he called me and let me know the situation.”

The actual desperation Jamahal Hill revealed was, “Basically, the situation was that they needed a main event. They had some things lined up, but they would have preferred it be me and Alex. It was the first option; it’s what they really wanted. The people definitely wanted it; that’s what people have been asking me for months now, all week. Yeah, it made sense.”

Considering the remarks made by the former UFC light heavyweight champion, it appears that the UFC president’s frustration led to a sense of urgency in announcing the main card. Hill wasn’t anticipating the opportunity, but White ensured that he accepted the offer.

Jamahal Hill claims the Alex Pereira challenge is big for him at UFC 300

UFC fans have timer and again witnessed how a fighter can show sportsmanship by being a gentleman before and after the fight. After being included in the UFC 300^th edition for the main event title card, Jamahal Hill is excited to fight against the talented Alex Pereira.

Jamahal Hill is impressed by the UFC light heavyweight champion’s record as a two-division champion, achieved in just seven fights. Confident in his abilities, Hill is eager to challenge the former UFC middleweight champion, who currently holds the light heavyweight title in the UFC.

Hill praised Alex Pereira saying, “I’m looking forward to the challenge, man. I’m looking forward to the challenge. The challenge for Alex has become huge, you know? He’s done incredible things: two division champions in the UFC in seven fights, the quickest to ever do it. I just want to get in there and see how I match up against him.”

Alex Pereira, much like his dominance in the middleweight division, has showcased formidable skills in the light heavyweight category. Following his victory last November, the champion is poised to defend his title once more, just six months later.

Pereira has been notably active, having fought three times in nine months for the promotion. His upcoming title defense will be against a former UFC light heavyweight champion who vacated the title due to injury last year, despite not having lost it in competition.
