Procházka has another challenger! I don’t care if he’s the champion. I’ve won twice as many fights as him in the UFC, says Hill

The UFC hosted another tournament this weekend and the main event featured two fighters from the welterweight division, the weight class where Jiri Prochazka reigns supreme. The winner of the night’s main event challenged the champion from Moravia at the press conference.

The UFC offereda great tournament this weekend. Not one of the ten fights ended on points. Including the main event, which featured welterweight number six Thiago Santos and number ten Jamahal Hill.

Hill has talked about fighting Jiri Prochazka a few times in the past, but so far he hasn’t delivered. However, a win over Santos, who until recently was one of the very top of his weight division, could bring him closer to his dream duel.

And it will probably happen. Hill won in the fourth round and scored a very valuable scalp. He will definitely move up in the rankings and theoretically we will see him around the fifth spot, from where a title fight is not far away.

“I’m interested in everyone at the top of the division, but I want to fight Prochazka. I’ve been applying for it for two years. I don’t care that he’s the champion. I’ve won twice as many fights as him in the UFC. I want him,” the American made himself heard at the press conference.

However, if the fight with the champion doesn’t work out, he is willing to “drop his demands” and would like to challenge Jan Blachowicz, the former champion. “I’m hungry. The lion wants the gold,” Hill said.

Walk will currently face other challenges. He faces a rematch with Glover Teixeira himself. But another challenger is just the Pole Blachowicz or Magomed Ankalaev. The situation at the top of the welterweight division is simply interesting and it will be interesting to see how it develops.
