Joe Rogan believes a "weird millisecond" cost Jamahal Hill against Alex Pereira
UFC commentator Joe Rogan provided a detailed analysis of a crucial moment which played a part in Jamahal Hill's loss to Alex Pereira at UFC 300. Rogan suggested that after landing a kick, Hill allowed Pereira to close the distance and put himself in the way of 'Poatan's' left hook.
Speaking with UFC star Max Holloway, Rogan said:
“Watch Jamahal... see his legs lock up [after the groin strike], and he relaxes. He gives a thumbs up, ‘We cool,’ and he touches Herb, so now they’re back at it. Pereira has never relaxed. The fight had restarted, but would that position have taken place had it not been for Jamahal relaxing and giving him the thumbs up?”
He added:
"There is a weird millisecond where nobody knows what’s going on. [But] Pereira is still moving forward. When Jamahal lands the kick, and look at the distance [Pereira] closes. He closed the distance, they pause, [and] Jamahal gives him the thumbs up, but Pereira’s closed the gap now.
"He’s closed the gap a lot more than Jamahal would’ve let him. It’s a mistake by Jamahal, protect yourself at all times. But also, it does seem like there’s a moment of confusion.”
