Jamahal Hill will return to the octagon at UFC 311 to take on Jiri Prochazka. In the meantime, the former UFC light heavyweight champ was seen in a grappling session with Aljamain Sterling. The clip prompted a former UFC middleweight fighter to react with a "No Diddy" jibe. Sterling recently fought at UFC 310 and has no immediate fight booked for him.
The video posted on X by MMA Uncensored shows the duo in the grappling session. 'Funk Master' responded to the visuals with a cheerful post, writing:
"Good rolling with the champ!"

A former UFC middleweight competitor Derek Brunson reacted to Sterling's post with a warning of "balling his little ass up" while dismissing Jamahal Hill. The response included the mention of imprisoned rap mogul Diddy who is facing serious charges of sex trafficking. Brunson wrote:
"Ain’t no way champ . I’m balling your little ass up . No diddy."
Brunson had a long career in the UFC, spanning 21 bouts in the promotion. He last competed in the company in 2023 against Dricus du Plessis in a losing cause. Brunson joined the PFL after leaving UFC and currently competes in the light heavyweight division of the PFL.
When Jamahal Hill went off on Michael Johnson
Jamahal Hill has been in the line of fire since losing to Alex Pereira at UFC 300. The former champ was brutally knocked out cold by Pereira in the first round to retain his title. 'Sweet Dreams' has anyway chosen to maintain his bad blood with 'Poatan' and the duo were recently seen confronting each other at the UFC PI. The reigning light heavyweight champion even threw gloves at Hill and asked him to step inside the cage which he didn't oblige.
Reacting to the episode, the UFC lightweight fighter Michael Johnson criticized Jamahal Hill for confronting Pereira and not picking up the gloves. The former light heavyweight champ reacted to Johnson in a fiery retort on X by writing:
"Gang u a b*tch and you one of the biggest clowns and pu**y’s on the roster. They keep u around to get slept by debut fighters!!! I’ve made more money than you and you been here 3x as long so I would expect you to know the money game! Find out what it is when I’m on that time frfr."
Hill was forced to relinquish his title due to an injury after winning it from Glover Teixeira at UFC 283. He locked horns with Alex Pereira at UFC 300 for the title but failed to encash the title opportunity. Hill is slated to take on Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311 in his upcoming showdown.
