Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill’s rivalry continues to escalate on social media. However, the Brazilian may face some backlash after he shared a racial slur online. ‘Poatan’ has been a phenom since signing with the UFC and is already in an exclusive list of fighters who’ve held titles in two divisions. To capture his 205 lbs belt, the kickboxer knocked out his year-long rival Hill inside the first round–though his celebration afterwards didn’t go down well with his opponent. Two months after his defeat, Jamahal Hill decided to take the social media to share his thoughts about being respectful to fighters inside the cage. “I haven’t really spoke on this but I went to Brazil and DOG WALKED your guy in one of the most one aided a** whooping in championship history and after showed nothing but respect and paid homage!” “I’ve never celebrated over an opponent I beat and even called out my fans for disrespecting Johnny Walker after I slept him!” Hill then called out Pereira for his viral celebration , insisting that the two will cross paths again in the future
