After demanding respect from Jamahal Hill, Poatan explains provocations and again pokes at his defeated opponent at UFC 300; look!
The most anticipated fight at UFC 300, held in April between Alex Poatan It is Jamahal Hill, still resonates with the fighters involved to this day. After the American demanded respect from the champion for his celebration after the knockout, Poatan again provoked his opponent and explained the reason for the gestures after securing the victory.
“I have nothing to say. I was just confused. I didn’t understand, because it’s been two months and he’s talking now. Generally, when this happens, people immediately say what they think. I don’t know, it looks like he woke up from the knockout now, I think“, provoked the Brazilian in a speech to Jamahal.
Jamahal Hill is crying because of Poatan’s celebration, saying it was disrespectful, pipipi popopo, boo boo. But I think it’s worth remembering in 4 images what happened that week, and then you can evaluate whether the crying is fair or if the crying is free: pic.twitter.com/YRc6TD8N6D

Furthermore, he followed up by replying “Sweet Dreams“, which commanded respect from Poatan, remembering his attitude towards Glover Teixeira, when he beat the current champion’s friend in the last fight of his opponent’s career. Alex even agreed that he was respectful towards his partner, but preferred to comment on his ‘trash talk‘ before the fight between them.
“He set a good example in the fight against Glover, he was respectful there and so on after the fight, I think before the fight he was also very respectful, so he gave respect and received respect. He disrespected me. I don’t think I disrespected him. I just made some change there“, concluded the champion in an interview with the channel “Mainevent”.
With the maintenance of his belt, Alex Pereira is now thinking about the next challenge and says he is close to signing the contract for his new title defense. The opponent must be again Jiri Prochazkawhich was already won by the Brazilian in November 2023, exactly when he won the belt, which at the time, was vacant.
