Pereira is predictable but dangerous
Alex Pereira is one of the most predictable fighters in the UFC. He always acts according to the same plan, it is based on one thing: constant pressure, cuts and he does not spare either himself or his opponent. However, this style earned him the coveted title.
After losing the title in a lower category, the Brazilian moved up to a higher weight and achieved success. First, he defeated Jan Blachowicz by split decision and then won the championship belt by knocking out Jiri Prochazka.

Pereira’s weak link is his ground fighting, but this should not be a problem in the next fight. Furthermore, the Brazilian is physically more powerful than his rival.
Hill is not afraid
Jamal Hill’s story is one of going from an exceptional fighter to a champion. At one point he was just one of them, but in the last three years he won four fights: against Jimmy Crute, Johnny Walker, Thiago Santos and, finally, against Glover Teixeira. Thus, Hill won the championship title, but then abandoned it: he could not defend himself due to injury.
Jamal grew up in a crime-ridden area of Chicago, so in a cage he is not afraid of anything or anyone. Hill will most likely base his tactics on a powerful series of body shots. He’s really good at this. But there are many “buts” that can hinder an American.
First of all, he hasn’t fought in over a year. And no one knows how ready Hill is after his Achilles injury. Only battle will answer this question.
Tough fight at UFC 300:
Jiří Prochazka – Aleksandar Rakic. Due to injuries, nothing is clear!
Secondly, Jamal is not the type of fighter who spends a lot of time on defense. Yes, he defeated several tough opponents, but Hill had never had such a powerful opponent in the stand-up position. Head protection will be a separate topic.
On the other hand, Pereira is so stubborn and direct that Hill can create enough problems for Alex even with minimal surprises.
What to expect from the fight?
This will be a real rubilovo. Two forwards who are not that good defensively, but look very good in the post. The fight will most likely end early. That’s why we recommend betting here on knockout or TM 2.5 rounds. But it is very difficult to predict who will emerge victorious from this fight. May the best win!
Tender: total less than 2.5 rounds for 1.86.
