Jamahal Hill goes off on Magomed Ankalaev in profanity-laced rant: "He acts like a b*tch"
Jamahal Hill has targeted Magomed Ankalaev in his latest rant. Hill expressed his desire for a potential fight with Ankalaev, claiming he'd inflict severe damage on the Russian and knock him out.
Hill will look to get back in the win column, to establish himself as the next title contender. Meanwhile, many expect Ankalaev to take on Alex Pereira next for the light heavyweight title.
During a recent interview with Inside Fighting, 'Sweet Dreams' explained his animosity towards the 32-year-old, saying:
''I want to knock out Magomed just because to me, he’s a b*tch, and he f***ing talks like a b*tch and he acts like a b*tch. So I don’t really f*** with him much, at all, so f*** him and yeah I'd love nothing more to put this b*tch a*s to sleep.''
When asked about the beginning of his feud with Ankalaev, Hill responded:
''From him acting like a b*tch...I’m not even talking to this weirdo, and he’s coming and trying to take shots at me because he’s so f***ing lame, and he sees that the fanbase kind of has a thing for me, so he kind of tries to ride that wave. Couple other people do that s**t, but he’s the cheesiest f***ing one that does it.''

In his recent octagon outing at UFC 300, Hill challenged Pereira in order to reclaim his title, however, ended up suffering a devastating opening-round knockout loss.
The American was then set to face Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 303 but their scheduled matchup was canceled after Rountree Jr. was found guilty of doping violation. Hill will now face former champion Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311 next year.
Jamahal Hill backs Magomed Ankalaev to win against Alex Pereira
Magomed Ankalaev positioned himself as the top contender for the light heavyweight title after defeating Aleksander Rakic by unanimous decision at UFC 308.
In the aforementioned interview with Inside Fighting, Jamahal Hill discussed the potential clash between Alex Pereira and Ankalaev, predicting the Russian to win. He said:
''Alex [Pereira] is a pressure fighter…leaves himself exposed to counters. Ankalaev counters with combinations, so there will be openings for him there to land. Plus, Ankalaev’s a southpaw, so that’s another factor of the puzzle that he’s going to have to figure out…I give Ankalaev a big chance at winning it, just because of the style he fights…he draws things out.” [5:52]
