Jamahal Hill responds to Magomed Ankalaev's 'chubby' jibe, threatens to turn him into a 'meme'
Jamahal Hill is not one to back down from a fight, so when Magomed Ankalaev called him 'chubby', he responded with his own jibes.
Magomed Ankalaev believes he deserves to be the light-heavyweight champion after his last fight against Jan Blacowichz was controversially ruled a draw. He called out the newly-crowned champion, saying:
"Careful what you wish for, chubby. I am coming for MY belt. @JamahalH"
Hill responded by saying:
"Only thing I wish is that people actually wanting to see you fight!!! You don’t had a belt never have and while I’m here you never will!!! Chubby will turn you into a meme earn the fight and will gladly free these free on yo Abe Lincoln lookin a**!!! #Sincerely #YourKING"
Take a look at the exchange on Twitter:

Jamahal Hill believes he will knock out Magomed Ankalaev if he fights the Russian
Jamahal Hill is open to the possibility of fighting Magomed Ankalaev as his next opponent. The Grand Rapids native is brimming with confidence now more than ever as the light heavyweight champion. With Magomed Ankalaev pecking at his throne, it is only a matter of time before they fight.
In an interview with James Lynch of Lynch On Sports, Hill acknowledged that Ankalaev is deserving of a title fight:
"He's right there at the top so he's put himself in position to be considered for those things. I'm not just going to sit and be like, 'He didn't deserve it,' he's up at the top. If I'm ready to go and I'm ready to fight, I fight who's available. I wouldn't mind knocking him the f**k out just for the simple fact that people keep bringing his name up talking to me."
Jamahal Hill put on a clinic against the highly experienced Glover Teixeira in his last fight and shocked a lot of people. He will look to do the same if he fights Ankalaev in the future
