UFC prospect Jamahal Hill (8-0 4KO) took to Instagram, Sunday, to announce his upcoming fight with Paul Craig and express his desire to become a household name
“I’ll just confirm it now!!! March 20th I will be handing out another degree!!! This won’t be just any degree this will be a masters degree level ass whooping!!! I feel slightly disrespected and it’s time that the world knows exactly who I am and what fuckin time it is!!!#SWEETDREAMSERA #TOUCHEMUPUNIVERSITY“
For Hill, “prospect” may not be the appropriate word to describe the undefeated 29-year-old as his most recent win over Ovince Saint Preux (25-15 11KO) likely labels him a “contender”
After starting his professional career with four straight victories under Knockout Promotions and a lone victory under Lights Out Championship, Hill got a call up to Dana White’s Contenders Series and made good on the opportunity with a second-round TKO
On paper, Hill may be considered a prospect only eight fights into his professional career, but the eye test will tell you that Hill is an extremely dangerous striker with a versatile top game and an exciting and intriguing overall game
Hill’s feeling of being “slightly disrespected” most likely comes from the fact that his next opponent, Paul Craig (14-4 2KO), is ranked #14 after such a big win over a UFC veteran.
A win over such a dominant wrestler, however, may be exactly what Hill needs to enter the UFC Light Heavyweight Title conversation.
Hill faces Craig March 20th on the undercard of Derek Brunson vs Kevin Holland
