A light-heavyweight title fight between former champions Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill will go down later tonight (Jan. 18) on the main card of UFC 311 at the Intuit Dome in California.
Prochazka (30-5-1) and Hill (12-2 and 1 NC) share an interesting connection. Both of them have losses against reigning champion Alex Pereira. 'BJP' has suffered two knockout losses to 'Poatan' and Hill, one.
