Old callout by Jamahal Hill claiming he'd beat Tom Aspinall sends MMA internet into frenzy: "Subs him in a minute," "Trying to line up his funeral?"

An old interview featuring Jamahal Hill has resurfaced, sparking heated debates among MMA fans. In the interview, Hill teased a potential move to heavyweight and boldly claimed he could defeat interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.

Hill, who usually fights at 205 pounds, stated that he walks around at 240 pounds, making a jump to heavyweight physically feasible:

"I usually walk around maybe like 240 [pounds]. I'm 240 right now, bro. Bro, I'm trying to tell you, bro, I'm a big boy. I'm a big dog. It's possible. It's possible, bro."

Later in the interview, he teased a potential fight with Aspinall. Hill praised the heavyweight’s skills but maintained his confidence:

"I like that fight. I like that fight. Tom’s a great fighter. I'd have fun, I'd have fun fighting against him."

The comments, initially made before Hill’s fight with Alex Pereira at UFC 300, have gone viral on social media. Fans were quick to react, with one quipping:

“Jamahal after Tom subs him in a minute”

Another joked:

“Is Jamahal trying to line up his funeral?”

Jamahal Hill opens up on UFC PI altercation with Alex Pereira

Jamahal Hill recently shed light on his heated encounter with Alex Pereira at the UFC Performance Institute (PI), where the two rivals crossed paths during separate training sessions. The tension stems from their clash at UFC 300, where Pereira defeated Hill via a first-round knockout.

In a YouTube video reposted by @ChampRDS on X, Hill recounted the confrontation, explaining that he initially approached Pereira for a conversation. However, the interaction escalated when Pereira’s translator conveyed a provocative remark:

"I was at the PI earlier, and Alex was there. I just finished working out, he was working out, and I went to go up and have a conversation... Initially, when I went up to him, it was smooth... And in the exchange, he said something to his translator, and his translator said, ‘He said you’re still sleeping, woke up and s***!’. I’m wide awake now! You can get put to sleep for real!"

He added:

"Then it kind of went to a fake a**, ‘Yeah, come get the gloves and go in the cage'... When I’m out in a situation like that, we could throw hands right now."
