In a fiery exchange on social media, light heavyweight contenders Jamahal Hill and Magomed Ankalaev have locked horns following Jiri Prochazka’s defeat at UFC 303. Hill, aiming to secure a shot at divisional champion Alex Pereira, alleged that Ankalaev was struggling to enter the United States. However, Magomed Ankalaev swiftly fired back, asserting that he possesses a valid visa and dismissing Hill’s claims as baseless.
The Russian fighter minced no words, tweeting directly at Hill: “[Jamahal Hill], you are a bum. I actually asked Mick Maynard to fight you, but Mick had other plans for you. Do you really believe you are any good? You wanted to have nothing to do with me. Don’t lie and be a real man.”

Will Jamahal Hill Fight Magomed Ankalaev?
While Hill and Magomed Ankalaev have never faced each other in the octagon, both have been prominent figures in the 205-pound division. Hill held the divisional championship for most of 2023, while Ankalaev contended for the belt at UFC 282, resulting in a draw against Jan Blachowicz. Following Alex Pereira’s knockout victory at UFC 303, Hill expressed interest in a rematch with the Brazilian champion, dismissing Ankalaev’s challenge.
Despite the heated exchange, Hill remains focused on his pursuit of Pereira, vowing to “sleep” his next opponent and set up a rematch. Ankalaev, on the other hand, stands firm in his assertion that he has the necessary documentation to enter the US. As the rivalry intensifies, fans eagerly await the next chapter in this light-heavyweight drama.
