Jamahal Hill: UFC 282 Main Event Fighters Still in Cage When He Got Title Shot - MMA Fighting 

What a class act by Anthony Smith, dudes a real legend of the sport. Went from getting his fight taken away, to helping his opponent prepare for the title fight only because Jamahal asked him to.

Hill is a real one. Love his perspective on fighting. His opponents and the fight game. Wish him the best. It might just be his time.

Man Jamahal's self belief paired with the tradgedy that's faced his family was such a crazy mix of emotions. Hoping Hill can win the title and prove himself to the world

Wow you could see the emotions on his face after he said he'll finally answer the question and theres no losing in this fight almost had tears in his eyes...very genuine raw emotion and even more real how can you not root for this guy...never trash talked,gave glover his Rose's while he still here...way the best man win...your live will forever be intertwined after this fight

2:29 "If i can't come out and display that i'm the best in 6 weeks, then am i really him?" . Preparations has been done in the last couple years (not only the 6 weeks of cramming). Good luck to him. Lets see how he does.

Man I’m rooting for Jamahal Hill you feel the power in his voice, he’s been through a lot and you can see that. I love Glover but man Hill is the man.

Awesome interview. A lot of people give Ariel crap for asking offensive/abrasive questions, this interview shows why he is great. His job is to find the story. And yes, at times that means asking tough/awkward questions. But he does. And he pulls the story out of the fighter. There were a few times in this interview that he could have pulled back, but Ariel pushed. And in the end it really is what’s best for Jamahal Hill because now people want to know more about him and his stock rises. Great work by Ariel and great courage by Jamahal. Should be an amazing build up to and amazing fight 🙏🏻

I been watching Hill for a minute. After watching interview, I know he’s ready to be a champ!! Let’s go future champ.

This is a fighter it’s easy to root for.

Jamahal is such a cool dude. People can say what they want, but look at the state of the LHW division. Outta the top 7 guys, 3 are injured. 3rd and 4th ranked had a shot at it and the draw honestly wasn’t a bad call. It’s gonna be hard to root for a one man over the other because it’s so hard not to like Jamahal and Glover. Same way I felt when Glover taught Jiri. LHW is all over the place, but damn are there some incredible fights going on lately. I think it’s been one of my favorite divisions in recent years and so many likable guys at the top. Best of luck to both men. This is big, this could be the first contender series champion or it could be Glover regaining the crown in what would be the twilight of most fighters careers. Aside from that, god bless Jamahal’s family. The tragedy he mentioned is so terrible. I hope his family can find some comfort. Best of luck to both men, two of the most humble guys who deserve nothing but praise.

You sir earned yourself a fan

Jamal is a real one. Would be real happy to see him get the title.

Really hope Hill gets more eyes on him, he deserves it

Paddy's point of paying fighters is ridiculous, I never cared for hill but just by watching this interview I now like hill and low key rooting for him

I really like Jamahal he look like a guy everybody can be friend with , the basket ball match with DC Derek Brunson etc make me love him even more, the guy is really chill and also respect to anthony for helping him

Very humble young man I enjoy watching him perform best of luck to you future CHAMP!!

Ariel before talking to Jamahal : So how do you feel, like nerves? Ariel after talking to Jamahal: yea u know what I'm sayin it's all a vision to me, I get to answer the question, you already KNOW how it's goin down

So sorry you and your family have been going through a terrible time, good luck in brazil. I hope you find the answer you’re looking for.

Two good dudes from two different generations fighting. Win no matter what… well except a draw!

I knew his time would come. Seeing him on all the podcast and interviews I really felt and believed what he was saying. The LHW Belt coming back to the US!

When Ariel said what did you do till 7am awake all night? We know broski was lighting blunts. The final blaze before camp 😂😂

Jamahal got really good Hands..Well spoken

Phenomenal interview Jamahl Hill is great in this

Now this is a really nice interview. To hear an urban dude be articulate with his feelings. You never get to hear this from fighters in general. A tough guy willing to bare his soul. Love hearing about his struggle and rise.

Absolutely brilliant interview. More from this man please.

Met Jamal and terrace at ufc Orlando, super chill dude, very down to earth and gives his fans his genuine energy

Crazy that Ariel has become my favorite RU-vid channel. Always great guests

Congrats Jamahal. But you can tell the respect Anthony Smith has accumulated from the roster. I think its after his loss to Glover and Alexander, him going down and taking on the lower ranked guys and being a professional about it really brought his stock way up as a human being in the division.

Jamahal Hill solid asf

Damn I think he's talking about the house fire in Grand Rapids right down the street from my mom's house off 48thSt. I was very sadden about what happened and prayed for them.

Can’t help but like this dude

Great interview. Subscribed

He got his answer.

Ariel classy with the way he navigated that difficult conversation. Legend in the game whether you hate him or love him.

Get that belt sweet hands sorry for your loss man u and lionheart are real af

Listening to jamahal calms me down and watching him fight revs me up. What more can you ask. Il bet some money on him to win as I believe in him, if I lose it, it doesn't matter, I hope he wins though, can you imagine what it will be like for him

He's such a nice guy. Another fight where i will be sad whoever wins... but i think glover had his belt. He stays champion forever, so let this dude win mma gods

Jamahal is actually keeping it real.

Jamahal Hill is the man.

Dreams do come through. Champ

Lets go Hill, i rock with his energy always real.

Hill is a class act been following him since his ufc debut 🙌 one of those fights i don't want either to lose, also don't want the lhw belt to have 2 draws in a row 😅

The way he put his phone to his head to answer that call he knew was coming. Lol

Smith should be next. Dude is a veteran who has always been company man.

Jamal hill really made me a fan. Seems like a down to earth guy

Don’t be surprised if sweet dreams cracks glover and snatches that belt

Love this guy so real so tough and new he will be 👏

In 2020 I saw him fight and posted on Facebook like dude is gonna be something special or a champ one day and I stood by that prediction like my life depended on it lol. Shared that post atlest twice cause I truly believed he is gonna be champ one day. I did also have that same feeling for Anthony Smith and especially Johnny walker but they let me down 😭

Annnnnndddddd NEW UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AND OF THE WORLD! JAMAHAL “SWEET DREAMS “ HILL!!!!

GR TAKING HOME THE GOLD, LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!

amazing interview ariel, love your work

Jamahal Hill got that heart boyyy

Its Hill time

Sense tells me he's getting subbed pretty easily but he may just knock Glover TF out

Homie sounds like he bout to drop a banger called the Funky Cold Medina

Let’s go jamahal 😤

Very likable dude. Had some pretty heavy words too.

Very respectable guy man. Proved to be durable and an absolute dog in his last fight.

Next champ

My guy looks like Juice world

Chicago people have a very deep vision and perspective. You get that way when everyone and everything around you is a phone call away from bad news on a daily basis.

Frfr, He got this. And new!

Hill for the win. Helwani ease down on asking repetitive question dude...

Jamahal is a real ass dude 💪🏽

🙏 for your success SWEET DREAMS HILL

Ariel is on top of the world on fire at the moment

Let’s. Go .

Jamahal “ Ya Know “ Hill

Jamahal probably wanted to throw Smith a proverbial bone for him losing the fight/payday ie a few quid for coming and helping him. Plus dude's been in the cage with Glover so it's perfect. Class act all round 👏

I usually don’t buy the PPV but I’m definitely buying for Hill instead of waiting for the fight to be free on ESPN+

It is what it is

JH is one of my favorite fighters. I'm thinking he's gonna be too much for Glover. He's one of the very few with true one punch knockout power.

Hill can finish Glover striking early or Glover with his Grappling Late 🤝

This man is ice cold. He stops glover inside the distance.

You was going to startch Anthony Smith anyways

That be crazy if glover loses and Alex goes up to 205 and takes revenge stones vs dynamite

Jamal big fan

Shout out to Michigan, get it Sweet Dreams!!!!!

man the ufc really hates to have vacant belts so much that danas booking fights the night of the fight he always says in post fight interviews i dont book fights the night of the fight

This dude dope.

Man they just feeding this guy to Glover. Get serious number 7 was the best they could do with a blue belt in bjj. This is gonna be over as soon as it goes to the ground.

Jamahal "Tone Loc" Hill

Sweet dreams Texeria

this interview has made me aware of this dude and how hes a real one... without it i probably wouldnt have ever known... and this is why paddy pimblett you should appreciate such thing and not disrespect people and ask for payment for them to help you.

Grand Rapids is a lot like 209 toughest people in the world look it up

Remember when Jamal fought Paul Craig xD

Media training wouldn't hurt him

Ol Jamahal is Kool , like Barry white 👍. Glover my guy but I see this dude putting Glover in that blender like Gustafson did him. Jiri don't have them quick hands he's more of a trickster & Glover wasn't falling for many of his tricks. But if JH wins I'm not sure if he can beat a 100% healthy Jiri. 205 is exciting like some soap opera shhh right now👍. Dana White & crew are some genius level dudes. I love boxing but they soap operas take waaaay too dam long to play out

got nothing to lose = “just to know” in terms of before going to grave … not even winning, just to see if he was good enough That is bad news for Glover…

Put on for Michigan 💪🏻

Why sign contracts to fight if the ufc can just make a last minute decision to fight someone else for a belt last minute contracts are there for a reason lol fact that jan hadn’t left the cage and Jamal was getting phone calls about fighting for a title is crazy what’s the point in these contracts they sign before fights then

You know?

Coby Covington was the best thing to come out of Brazil 😂😂😂😂😂

Dude you cant interview everyone the same way dude...

Anyone else thinks he sounds exactly like vin diesel in the fast and furious ?

Smh favorite fighter glover vs my fav up and comer 😩😩 y’all tell me the results I’m not watching this

I go for nobody! I love both these fellas... just enjoy the fights

Jamahal Hill: LOOK AT ME NOW!

I can't belive Boosie Badass is gonna fight for a title!

If they were still in the ring that means that fight was fixed
