Alex Pereira recently hit back at Jamahal Hill for taking shots at Jiri Prochazka ahead of UFC 311. Suffice it to say, 'Poatan's' response has been a hit with fight fans.
Both Hill and Prochazka have lost their respective last fights to the light heavyweight champion. 'Sweet Dreams' was handed a first-round KO loss when he faced the Brazilian at UFC 300, while the Czech national succumbed to a second-round TKO loss against Pereira at UFC 303.
However, Hill was irked when his upcoming opponent criticized his last loss. In a recent segment on his YouTube channel, 'Sweet Dreams' lashed out at Prochazka, deeming his loss to Pereira much worse.
As the Grand Rapids native sees it, Prochazka was dominated by the light heavyweight kingpin, while he merely got caught with a lucky shot.

His formal rivals' back and forth seems to have piqued Pereira's interest. In a recent post on X, 'Poatan' poked fun at 'Sweet Dreams' with a witty remark:
"Calm down, my son. Pass this test and Dad will give you a second chance."

What is Alex Pereira's quickest win in the UFC?
Despite Jamahal Hill's claims of merely getting caught by Pereira, he is 'Poatan's' quickest and arguably easiest fight so far in the UFC.
'Sweet Dreams' and Pereira headlined the historic UFC 300 card earlier in April at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In the lead-up to the event, Hill had expressed his confidence in outclassing the former GLORY two-division champion on the feet.
However, as the opening bell of the fight rang, things went downhill for Hill fast. Following confusion regarding a low blow by 'Sweet Dreams', the Brazilian backed him up toward the fence before landing a debilitating left hook, KOing the former champion at 3:14 minutes of Round 1.
