5. Jamahal Hill is a problem
UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard hasn’t got nearly enough credit for the way he’s rebuilt the light heavyweight division over the past several years. That’s largely because it continues to be controlled by the greatest champion in company history in Jon Jones, but if you take a look below him, there’s a lot to be excited about.
[autotag]Jamahal Hill[/autotag] is another talent who is beginning to turn heads as part of the next wave at 205 pounds. He completely demolished Klidson Abreu by TKO in less than two minutes to extend his undefeated record to 8-0.
Hill has the demeanor of someone who knows he is going to be an issue for others in his weight class. His talent gives great promise for that, as well, but there’s still questions to be answered. Time will reveal how good he can be, but at the moment Maynard seems to have found another gem.
Put Hill in the same category as the likes of Ryan Spann, Alonzo Menifield, Magomed Ankalaev and more who have the potential to overtake the top 10 rankings in the coming years.
