"Not the same energy he has online” - Fans roast Jamahal Hill for friendly interaction with Alex Pereira at UFC Performance Institute

Alex Pereira met former opponent Jamahal Hill at the UFC Performance Institute this week. The Brazilian is scheduled to headline UFC 303 alongside Jiri Prochazka. Despite several heated online exchanges, the interaction between Hill and Pereira was cordial, prompting fans to take aim at 'Sweet Dreams'.

Since Hill's defeat at UFC 300, he has been vocal online about the result, causing numerous responses from 'Poatan'. The American took issue with his former opponent's celebration after knocking him out and promised to hand Pereira a KO defeat of his own the next time the pair faced off.

But following the recently captured interaction between the former opponents, it appears that tensions may have simmered slightly. The footage was reposted to X by @ChampRDS, who wrote this:

Alex Pereira vs. Jiri Prochazka rematch predicted by Alexander Volkanovski

Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka are set to collide for the second time in the main event of UFC 303.

The event was initially meant to see the return of Conor McGregor, who was scheduled to fight Michael Chandler in a highly anticipated clash. But disaster struck for the Irishman several weeks before fight night as he suffered a broken toe, forcing him out of the event.

The pair of light heavyweights will now headline UFC International Fight Week in what should be a thrilling striking battle.

Former UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski recently shared his prediction for the clash, saying this:

"Jiri, who will put his head in danger and be happy to try and pull them out of range and then come back in... Pereira, he literally puts his whole body, he'll be in range... Both very risky ways of fighting, both very exciting, works well for both of them... It's gonna be a lot of fireworks, I think they're both gonna hurt each other and then someone gets the knockout - first or second round. It's destined to happen."
