Alex Pereira's feud with Jamahal Hill looks set to continue after Hill's consistent push for a potential rematch with the light heavyweight champion.
Despite this, Jamahal Hill's quest for the 205-pound title suffered a major blow last Saturday at UFC 311 when he was knocked out in the third round by Jiri Prochazka.
Ahead of that fight, the former light heavyweight champion has continuously expressed his desire for a rematch against Alex Pereira after 'Poatan' knocked him unconscious during their first meeting at UFC 300.

Alex Pereira trolls Jamahal Hill after UFC 311 KO loss
Hill and Prochazka both battled for the potential chance of a rematch against the Brazilian and the fight proved to be a blockbuster.
The opening round went the way of 'The Last Samurai', but Hill seemed to pull himself into the fight in round two. Despite this, Prochazka turned up the pressure in round three and took out 'Sweetdreams' after a barrage of punches.
During the fight, Pereira, who was sitting in the front row, continuously pretended to mock both fighters by calling on his 'two sons' to stop fighting.
However, after Prochazka scored the KO, Pereira stood up and did the infamous celebration he did when he knocked out Hill last April.
Unfortunately for Hill, by the time the 37-year-old champion can earn another title shot, he will have moved up to the heavyweight division as he continues to hint at that potential.
Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev continued their feud ahead of the match
Pereira's next title fight has finally been confirmed as he is set to take on highly anticipated number one contender Magomed Ankalaev after years of calls for that fight to happen.
The two will host the UFC 313 main event on March 8, and after the recent antics regarding the UFC 311 main event, Prochazka appears to possibly be a backup fighter for that event.
“Goodbye Ankalaev,” Pereira said online after announcing their fight.
“Brazil, I'm sorry for what I'm about to do to your boy,” Ankalaev replied.
Brazil 🇧🇷 Sorry what I'm going to do to your boy

Hill is looking to move further and higher after his loss and will likely need to get a few more wins before he finds himself back in the title conversation.
