What is Jamahal Hill's UFC record?

Jamahal Hill, the No. 7-ranked UFC light heavyweight, has a promotional record of 5-1 (1 NC) and an overall MMA record of 11-1 (1 NC).

'Sweet Dreams' first appeared on the scene in 2019 when he fought on Dana White's Contender Series 21 against Alexander Poppeck, winning the bout via TKO in the third round.

The DWCS win earned Jamahal Hill a UFC contract and he made his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 166 against Darko Stošić, a bout that remains his only decision victory in the organization.

In his next fight, he faced Klidson Abreu at UFC on ESPN 9, where he finished Abreu with a knee in the first round. However, the win was overturned to a no contest after Hill tested positive for marijuana.

Jamahal Hill's only career loss came at the hands of Paul Craig at UFC 263, where he suffered a TKO defeat in the first round after having his elbow dislocated seconds prior.

Following his loss, Hill went on a three-fight win streak, including his infamous KO of Johnny Walker in the main event of UFC Vegas 48. 'Sweet Dreams' last fought against Thiago Santos in the main event of UFC Vegas 59, where he finished the Brazilian via TKO in the fourth round.

Jamahal Hill to fight Glover Teixeira for the vacant light heavyweight title

The UFC 282 main event between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev for the vacant heavyweight title was anti-climactic as the bout was declared a split draw.

With the light heavyweight title remaining vacant, Glover Teixeira is the only available top-five contender who cna quickly challenge for the belt, with Aleksandar Rakić and ex-champ Jiří Procházka being injured.

A visibly flustered Dana White announced at the UFC 282 post-fight press conference that Jamahal Hill and Glover Teixeira will compete for the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 283 next month.

The news came as a surprise to many, in particular to Anthony Smith, who is ranked a spot above 'Sweet Dreams' at No. 6 and was originally scheduled to face Hill in March. Upon hearing the news of Hill vs. Teixeira, Smith was visibly disappointed but kept his composure in the UFC 282 post-show.

The fight announcement for the light heavyweight title came as an early Christmas present to Jamahal Hill, who is currently riding a three-fight win streak with a trio of finishes.
