Biography

Jamahal Hill is an American professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Light Heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he is the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. As of August 22, 2023, he is #15 in the UFC men's pound-for-pound rankings.

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Starting his career in 2017, Hill started his professional career 5–0, four of the five fights coming under the KnockOut Promotions banner. In just his fourth professional fight Hill defeated future UFC fighter Dequan Townsend despite Townsend having twenty-six pro appearances prior to that bout.

Hill then received the call to appear on Dana White's Contender Series 21 back in 2019, where Hill defeated opponent Alexander Poppeck via second-round ground and pound, earning his UFC contract.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Hill made his UFC debut against Darko Stošić on January 25, 2020, at UFC Fight Night 166. He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Hill faced Klidson Abreu on May 30, 2020, at UFC on ESPN: Woodley vs. Burns. He initially won the fight via technical knockout in the first round, but the fight was later overturned on September 3 because Hill tested positive for marijuana. He was suspended six months and fined 15% of his fight purse.

Hill faced Ovince Saint Preux on December 5, 2020, at UFC on ESPN 19. At the weigh-ins, former interim UFC Light Heavyweight Championship challenger Ovince Saint Preux weighed in at 207.5 pounds, one and a half pounds over the light heavyweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at a catchweight and Saint Preux was fined 20% of his individual purse, which went to Hill. Hill won the fight via technical knockout in the second round.

Hill was scheduled to face Paul Craig on March 20, 2021 UFC on ESPN 21. However on March 10, Hill withdrew from the bout after testing positive for COVID-19. The pairing with Craig remained intact and took place on June 12, 2021, at UFC 263. After having his elbow dislocated early in the fight via an armbar from Craig, Hill lost the fight via technical knockout in the first round.

Hill was scheduled to face Jimmy Crute on October 2, 2021 UFC Fight Night 193. However in early September, the bout was rescheduled two months later at UFC on ESPN: Font vs. Aldo. He won the fight via knockout in the first round. This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.

In his first UFC main event, Hill faced Johnny Walker on February 19, 2022, at UFC Fight Night: Walker vs. Hill. He won the fight via knockout in the first round. The win earned Hill his second Performance of the Night bonus award.

Hill faced Thiago Santos on August 6, 2022, at UFC on ESPN 40. He won the fight via technical knockout. This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award.
