Newly crowned UFC champ, Jamahal Hill talks to TMZ Sports about who he wants next and when (Jiri, this summer!), where all the blood came from in between rounds and much more!
during the main event at UFC 283, where he captured the vacant light heavyweight title ... And, while he's still reveling in his victory, now Jamahal wants Jiri.
"100% [Prochazka]. I'm hoping he can be back by July, August and we can get a fight set up 'cause that's the one I've wanted for a long time," Hill told us.Of course, Prochazka, the former champion, suffered a severe shoulder injury in late 2022 , forcing him out of UFC 282 only days before he was set to step in the Octagon.
But, despite how bad it initially looked, Jiri says his healing is ahead of schedule ... and even sent a message to Hill.And, that's just what Jamahal wants ... and apparently, Dana does too. "That's the fight that they would like to have happen. So, obviously, when he's ready. I want him to heal up, I don't want any excuses whatsoever. Well, there'll probably still be some. But still, as long as he's ready to go and he feels healthy, I want us to be able to get that done," Hill told us.
