Jamahal Hill

Jamahal Hill, originating from Chicago, Illinois, emerged as a standout in the UFC after making his mark on Dana White's Contender Series. With an impressive record of 12 victories, 2 losses, and 1 no-contest, he stands as a testament to his striking abilities, securing seven knockouts and five decision wins. Transitioning from Chicago to Grand Rapids at the age of 12, Hill's journey led him away from a potential basketball career after graduating from Rogers High School. Opting for professional mixed martial arts in 2017, he embarked on a path that culminated in him becoming the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion at UFC 283 in January 2023, following a triumph over Glover Teixeira. Unfortunately, his reign was short-lived due to an injury that led to him relinquishing the title in July 2023.

Despite his achievements, Hill faced adversity with his sole loss occurring at UFC 263 against Paul Craig, where he suffered a dislocated elbow due to an armbar, resulting in a first-round TKO. Looking ahead, Hill is preparing for a potential title eliminator matchup against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311 on January 18, 2025.

UFC 300: Pereira v Hill
Jamahal Hill

Jamahal Hill proudly displays a tattoo on his chest reading "Northside" just below his collarbone. Alongside this, he also has two thumbs-up tattoos, often humorously likened to "hamburger helper gloves," adorning both of his chests. These tattoos seem to be more of a personal aesthetic choice rather than holding any profound meaning. They appear to reflect Hill's individual style and perhaps were inked for amusement rather than with any deeper meaning in mind.

Other Tattoos

Jamahal Hill has the number 22 tattooed on his right arm, while his other arm bears a letter tattoo that is not easily discernible. Some fans have jokingly likened his body art choices to those of a child's drawings, sparking playful banter and occasional internet trolling.
