UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill has not fought since his championship win earlier this year in January. After five months of inactivity, the champion has gained a sizable paunch and put on some pounds.
Hill's close friend and UFC welterweight contender Kevin Holland took to Instagram to post pictures of his weight gain and trolled him with a funny caption. The post read:
"@sweet_dreams_jhill now look bro don’t do me to bad on the return 🤣 😆#bluntbros #we #demboyz"

Hill responded to the friendly jibe from the unranked welterweight in the post's replies. He wrote that Holland was dear to him but that was not going to let him off the hook for poking fun at him:
"You my brotha! I love u but I’m about to heat yo ass now"
