Jamahal Hill has been involved in a Twitter exchange with Sean O'Malley after proclaiming to be the most successful fighter to come out of Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS).
'Sugar' – another DWCS alumnus – has found more fame since joining the UFC ranks. However, Hill backed his claim by stating that he has run through tougher competition in his division since arriving in the organization.
During a recent appearance on The Schmozone podcast, 'Sweet Dreams' took aim at O'Malley, suggesting that the bantamweight prospect reached his current level of stardom after being hyped up by UFC president Dana White.
Hill also suggested that Snoop Dogg commentating O'Malley's first fight on DWCS played a factor in the recognition he has gained so far. The light heavyweight fighter said:
"The reason why Sean O'Malley is actually really popular like that, you know, he got a leg up from the start. He had Snoop Dogg commentating his first fight on Contender Series. You had Dana, who believed in you and he wanted to give you that push. So yeah, a lot of things working in his favor."
Hill added:
"Like me, I got to work for it, I got to work for everything. I've been working hard, I've been getting everything that I got out of the mud... Within my first year, I was already fighting guys so I've had to earn mine against the top half of the division. He hasn't done that."
