Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill does not seem impressed with Magomed Ankalaev's victory at UFC 308. After the fight, 'Sweet Dreams' posted a six-word tweet taunting Ankalaev, claiming that people would not be excited for a title fight between the Dagestani and current champion Alex Pereira.
"Good luck selling this title fight!!!"

In another post, Hill reacted to Ankalaev's performance by sharing a series of 'yawn' emojis.
Ankalaev went toe-to-toe against Aleksandar Rakic on the main card of UFC 308. The event was held on Oct. 26 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Coming into the encounter, the Dagestani was riding a 12-fight undefeated streak in the UFC. Rakic, on the other hand, was on a two-fight skid.
The contest turned out to be a close affair that went the 15-minute distance. In the end, Ankalaev took home the victory via unanimous decision. All three judges scored the contest 29-28 in his favor.
During his post-fight octagon interview with Daniel Cormier, the 32-year-old proceeded to call out Pereira for a title showdown.
"I think I've done everything to deserve the next title shot. I'd like to talk to Alex. I'd like to tell him, 'Hey, stop running away from me. We should fight. That's what everybody wants to see.'... Alex, stop running away from me."

Pereira and Ankalaev have been going back-and-forth on social media for quite some time now. On multiple occasions, Ankalaev has accused the Brazilian of dodging a fight against him.
Considering the run the Dagestani is currently on, there is a very good possibility that Pereira's next title defense might be against him.
