Jamahal Hill, who is scheduled to face Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311, was recently spotted doing a training skit with MMA interviewer Nina-Marie Daniele.
Daniele posted a video of herself and Hill practicing a variety of fight techniques, takedown attempts, and other skills inside the octagon. This fun clip caught the attention of fight fans and many of them took a dig at 'Sweet Dreams' because of the recent UFC PI incident when he backed out from sparring Alex Pereira.
The American light heavyweight and Pereira have recently been active on social media, firing shots at each other after Hill made excuses regarding his loss to 'Poatan' at UFC 300. The former champ blamed the past injuries, the timeout, and referee Herb Dean.
The Brazilian phenom, on the other hand, has promised to give 'Sweet Dreams' a chance to dethrone him if he beats Prochazka next.

Jamahal Hill in a "good spot" ahead of UFC 311
Both Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka are coming off knockout losses to Alex Pereira and will look to return to winning ways when they lock horns at UFC 311.
Talking about his impending match with WOODTV8, Hill revealed that he is “extremely hungry to get back” and is “feeling better.”
"I’m extremely hungry to get back. I’m feeling better. I’m feeling closer to where I was pre-any of the injuries. It’s all starting to come back together, come back into form, and I’m just excited to get back in.”
He added:
"I’m in a good spot. The bounce in my legs is coming back very, very well, and I haven’t really thought about my Achilles for a while now. The knee injury has not been as bothersome. I feel like we’re in a really good place to come out and put on a great performance.”
Prochazka's toughness, endurance, and durability were also commended by 'Sweet Dreams', who said that he is ready and not underestimating his opponent.
