Jamahal Hill is hoping for a strong comeback.
The light heavyweight was on a hot streak by getting four wins in a row. Hill was on top of the division when he beat Glover Teixeria for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight title at UFC 283.
However, that all changed when he fought Alex Pereira at UFC 300 and lost the belt via knockout. He followed that loss with another one as he suffered a TKO at the hands of Jiří Procházka at UFC 311. Hill is now on a two-fight losing streak and ranks fourth in the division. Hill’s record currently stands at 12 wins and 3 losses.
Khalil Roundtree Jr is also looking to snap back into the win column after taking the UFC Light Heavyweight title from Pereira at UFC 307. Before the losses, Khalil was on an impressive five-fight winning streak with four of those wins coming via TKO. Khalil ranks No. 7 in the UFC Light Heavyweight division. His record currently stands at 13 wins and 6 losses.
Rafael Fiziev is in worse shape. He’ll be fighting Ignacio Bahamondes in the co-main event and lightweight comes in on a three-fight skid. His last win was against Rafael dos Anjos in 2022. Fiziev is currently No. 11 in the rankings. His professional record stands at 12 wins and 4 losses.
Bahamondes is on a nice winning on the other hand as he’s won his last three fights via TKO and submission. The lightweight isn’t ranked currently, but a win over Fiziev could get him in the top 15. Bahamondes’ record stands at 17 wins and 5 losses.
