Jamahal Hill ’s UFC light heavyweight title is officially vacated. Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) suffered an Achilles tendon injury in a pickup basketball game in July which required surgery. He opted to relinquish his belt, which was just made official when Jiri Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Alex Pereira (8-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) were booked in a vacant light heavyweight title bout this week in the UFC 295 co-headliner. Hill explains how the process went down. “We’ll see who will sit as the steward on the throne until the king returns,” Hill said on his YouTube channel .
