With his triumph at UFC 283, Jamahal becomes the first-ever graduate of the Contender Series to take home a UFC championship. Hill defeated Alexander Poppeck via knockout in Season 3 of Dana White’s Contender Series to secure a UFC contract. Hill has defeated numerous notable opponents since joining the UFC, solidifying his position at the top.

Unquestionably, Jamahal Hill is the UFC’s current light heavyweight champion, but Jiri Prochazka’s specter hangs over him. After UFC 283, there are plenty of great fights, among them Hill vs Prochazka. The two might collide this summer if Prochazka progresses with his injury comeback.

Prochazka was recuperating from a severe shoulder injury in the Czech Republic’s forests when he decided to jump on social media and post a little video announcing his intention to challenge for the 205-pound belt.
