Another new UFC champion, another barrage of callouts from fighters across the Light-heavyweight division. Jamahal ‘Sweet Dreams’ Hill had to work extremely hard to escape his hard life and to make it to the title. Now he has issued a response to the callout from former champion Jiri ‘The Czech Samurai’ Prochazka.
Jiri here is seen maintaining his cold, short-worded persona and he calls out the current champ with aggression. Having beaten tough opponents like Volkan Oezdemir and Dominick Reyes, the Czekh has earned his reputation for being a stand-up fight master. To the casual viewer, it may seem like other fighters in the division are scared to fight the former champion.
But Hill is called by the moniker ‘Sweet Dreams’ for a reason. All but two of his victories have come via KO/TKO and he too relies on his insane power to defeat his opponents.
He has even called out Jiri in the past as stated n his recent interview, “It’s not a secret I’ve been calling Jiri for years, I’ve wanted Jiri for years, I want that fight. He said he might be back in six months or something. I’d wait for that.”

Jamahal currently will have to go through an obligatory medical suspension period but when wants Prochazka for first title defense,
“100% [Prochazka]. I’m hoping he can be back by July or August and we can get a fight set up ’cause that’s the one I’ve wanted for a long time. That’s the fight that they would like to have to happen. So, obviously, when he’s ready. I want him to heal up, I don’t want any excuses whatsoever. Well, there’ll probably still be some. But still, as long as he’s ready to go and he feels healthy, I want us to be able to get that done.”
When do you think Hill will return?
