Jamahal Hill slams Michael Bisping for "sore loser" comment, Englishman issues response: "Didn't have you down as the easily offended type"

Jamahal Hill and Michael Bisping recently engaged in a fiery back-and-forth on X, fueled by what appeared to be a misunderstanding of words. 'Sweet Dreams' has been vocal about his knockout loss to reigning light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira at UFC 300 in April. He argued that the outcome might have been different if referee Herb Dean had intervened to separate them after the disputed strike.

During a recent episode of his BELIEVE YOU ME Podcast, 'The Count' shared his thoughts on Hill's loss to Pereira, suggesting that although the former champion's reaction to the setback has been that of a "sore loser", it could ultimately serve as motivation for him to return stronger.

However, Hill wasn’t pleased with Bisping's comments and recently took to X to fire back at the UFC Hall of Famer, accusing him of exhibiting the same behavior following his own past defeats:

"Bisping calling me a 'sore loser' and talking about 'as men' on losing is the craziest sh*t to me ever!!! Bro, you have been crying and salty about Dan Henderson for 20 years and Vitor Belfort for 15 years!!! You would think spending half your career losing you would know how too!!"

Bisping promptly clarified his stance and stated that his words were never intended the way Hill had interpreted them. A part of his response reads:

"I was being nice, not talking sh*t. Didn’t have you down as the easily offended type. All the best with your camp."

'Sweet Dreams' is set to make his return to the octagon, where he'll square off against former champion Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311 on Jan. 18 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. Both fighters are looking to rebound after suffering knockout defeats to 'Poatan' earlier this year.

Why did Jamahal Hill choose to vacate his UFC title?

Jamahal Hill claimed the light heavyweight title with a commanding unanimous decision victory over Glover Teixeira at UFC 283 in January 2023. However, his reign was brief, as just six months later, 'Sweet Dreams' made the decision to vacate his belt.

In June 2023, Hill suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon while playing basketball with fellow UFC fighters. As a result, he chose to voluntarily relinquish his 205-pound title, prioritizing the progression of the division in his absence.
