However, Jamahal Hill had some dissenting opinions. The UFC light heavyweight fighter posted several tweets with his take on the matter and chose to hold Anne White accountable for her actions instead of criticizing Dana White. He wrote:
"If you don’t want to get hit don’t hit nobody period!!! #simple."

Anthony Smith details his experience of training with Jamahal Hill
Anthony Smith will no longer be facing Jamahal Hill at UFC Fight Night 221 in March owing to 'Sweet Dreams' being rescheduled to face Glover Teixeira for the light heavyweight strap at UFC 283. However, it seems that 'Lionheart' has no hard feelings towards the No.7-ranked light heavyweight and has showered praise on him.
On a recent episode of the Believe You Me podcast with Michael Bisping, Smith opened up about his experience training with Hill and his thoughts on the future potential light heavyweight champion. He said:
"They put me up in a nice hotel room, they gave me a car to drive, they bought all my meals. All the coaching staff [Of Black Lion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gym] came together and it was this really cool brainstorming session."
He further went on to praise Jamahal Hill, saying:
"You know, I was really impressed with Jamahal. He's very technical on his feet, he's strong, he's an athlete, he's fast... You show him something, you drill through it a couple of times, and then an hour later I see him using it on someone else almost perfectly."
