Brendan Schaub believes Jamahal Hill has the killer instinct that sets the best apart from the rest. Comparing the surging light heavyweight contender to fighters like Israel Adesanya, T.J. Dillashaw, Jon Jones and Kamaru Usman, Schaub said Hill seems to have an unwavering mindset and self-belief.

'Big Brown' went on to explain that while some fighters get deterred after suffering a loss inside the octagon, Hill is of a different breed. The former UFC heavyweight believes 'Sweet Dreams' won't let failures affect his goal of becoming one of the best fighters in the world.

During an episode of The Schaub Show podcast, Schaub said:

"What Jamhal Hill has that very few guys in the UFC have and most of them that have this skill set are world champions... Something DC has, Jon Jones has, TJ Dillashaw had, Jose Aldo has, Dominick Cruz has, Kamaru Usman has, Francis [Ngannou] has... You look at all these fu**ing monsters that run the UFC, Izzy [Israel Adesanya] has it of course but it's their mentality... That mamba mentality, that killer instinct, that true belief in yourself that never falters, especially in the day of social media."

He added:

"If you have a guy who's so mentally strong-minded that nothing wavers and they truly think that their destiny is to be the greatest fighter to ever fight, it's so powerful but a lot of guys can get shaken with a loss here... With Jamahal Hill, I see none of that."

Volkan Oezdemir is ranked No.8 in the light heavyweight division and is coming off back-to-back losses. He could be a viable opponent for Jamahal Hill, who is ranked No.10, down the line.
