Jamahal Hill reveals why he hasn't played UFC 4 with his own character yet

Jamahal Hill is harboring a grudge against the makers of the popular video game series UFC 4. As an avid gamer, the newly crowned light heavyweight champion recently revealed that he is yet to play as himself in the game due to the makers being too late to add him to the game's roster.

EA Sports UFC 4 recently added two new fighters to the roster, including 'Sweet Dreams' and women's strawweight contender Amanda Lemos. Hill is a four-star rated fighter in the game, and Lemos boasts a four-and-a-half-star rating. Both fighters' striking stats are understandably high, considering they are known for their punching power.

Nevertheless, it seems Jamahal Hill is not happy with his stats. In a recent interview with Helen Yee, the 31-year-old was asked if he had played the newly updated game yet. He responded:

"Nope... Took too long to put me in the game. I'm petty. I'm sorry, but I'm petty. Also, there are some stat issues, the hand speed ain't right, and the defense ain't right. You gotta put more respect on the champ's name before I hop on and spend some time on the sticks with it."

Jamahal Hill on Alex Pereira vs. Israel Adesanya 2

Jamahal Hill doesn't see Alex Pereira getting the better of Israel Adesanya in their upcoming rematch.

'Poatan' will look to retain the middleweight title when he faces 'The Last Stylebender' in the main event of UFC 287 on April 8. The Nigerian-born Kiwi has lost to Pereira in each of their three previous meetings, two of which came in the sport of kickboxing. The Brazilian is also the only fighter to ever knock out Adesanya. Pereira is seen as a possible contender to Hill's light heavyweight title, and the two could face off in the future.

Jamahal Hill does not foresee Alex Pereira winning against Israel Adesanya for the fourth time. In a recent interview with 'The Schmo', 'Sweet Dreams' was asked if he thought Pereira would beat Adesanya again. He replied:

"Nah. He got some things that happened for him, like the leg check at the end and things. I think if 'Izzy' just throws hands, just box him, be quick and just outbox him, he'll win."

While there have been speculations about the new middleweight champion wanting to move up to light heavyweight at some point, with his rematch against Adesanya next up, it looks like the LHW strap will have to wait.
