Terrance McKinney reckons Jamahal Hill can beat Jiri Prochazka in a potential light heavyweight title showdown
Terrance McKinney, a UFC lightweight fighter, has expressed his confidence in Jamahal Hill's ability to defeat Jiri Prochazka in a potential title fight. Prochazka had to relinquish his light heavyweight title in December due to a severe shoulder injury that required immediate surgery, leaving him out of action for at least six months. To prevent holding up the division, the Czech fighter voluntarily vacated the 205-pound strap.
The 155-pounder predicted:
During Prochazka's absence, Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz fought to a split draw for the vacant title. Later on, Hill and Glover Teixeira battled for the championship at UFC 283, and Hill emerged victorious, putting on an impressive display against the veteran Brazilian mixed martial artist.
'Sweet Dreams,' dominated Teixeira across all five rounds, with all three judges scoring in his favor. This performance was a defining moment in Hill's career as he claimed the undisputed 205-pound championship. With this win, Hill has established himself as a top contender in the light heavyweight division, and many fans and fighters, including McKinney, believe that he has what it takes to defeat Prochazka in a potential title bout.
