Jon Jones provides a verdict on Jamahal Hill vs Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311 after naming ‘Sweetdreams’ as a future opponent

Last Saturday, the ESPN broadcast during UFC Macau announced that Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka will perform at UFC 311 on January 18.

Both light heavyweights recently suffered falls at the hands of current champion, Alex Pereira, during their clash at UFC 311 on January 18 and an important fight for both.

Jamahal Hill has been extremely vocal since losing the 205-pound title and after his first-round loss to 'Poatan', the 33-year-old was hopeful he would get an immediate rematch.

Jon Jones gives his prediction for Jamahal Hill vs Jiri Prochazka

Although 'Sweetdreams' was not awarded the immediate rematch, he has been thrown straight back into a title eliminator bout against former champion, Jiri Prochazka.

Oddly enough, ahead of his recent comeback at UFC 309, Jon Jones admitted that he would like to fight the likes of Hill in the future, which shocked fans given his move to heavyweight and his determination not to fight interim champion Tom Aspinall to fight.

Despite this, 'Bones' recently teased that he and the UFC have begun negotiations for his next fight, which will likely come against the aforementioned Aspinall.

Additionally, Jones gave his prediction on Hill's upcoming fight against Prochazka after mentioning him as a potential future opponent of his.

“I think Jamahal Hill will win. Jiri has some really unorthodox punches but Jamahal seems to be the more technical and clean striker and I'm a big fan of basic techniques and Jamahal has a really strong base and clean kickboxing style,” Jones told The Schmo.

Jamahal Hill takes issue with 'B*tch' Magomed Ankalaev

Although both Jones and Pereira wanted their next fights to be against each other, the Brazilian champion will likely defend his title against Magomed Ankalaev.

The Russian has been extremely outspoken about his fellow competitors in the light heavyweight division, and has targeted 'Sweetdreams' Hill several times.

Ahead of his fight against Prochazka, Hill has responded to Ankalaev's recent comments and stated that he wants to knock him out in the future.

“I also want to take out Magomed on his own because to me he's ab*tch and he talks like ab*tch and he acts like ab*tch,” Hill told Inside Fighting.

“I don't really fuck him much at all, so fuck him, so I'd like nothing more than to put his ass to sleep. He just acts like a b*tch, I don't even say things. I don't even talk to this fool and then he comes and tries to shoot me because he's so stupid and he sees that the fanbase has a thing for me. Hill continued.
