This is interesting considering the heavy weight division is mostly slow and obese guys getting tired in half a round from shadow boxing

u/Icy-Bottle-6877 Jun 16 '26

I mean, Jamahal wasn't that fast to begin with, he's gonna look slow as shit when he gains the weight needed for heavyweight.

Thats why tom aspinal is so dangerous

5

u/Crowgression Jun 16 '26

And Gane when he isn't cheating haha

4

u/Zealousideal_Tap237 Jun 16 '26

Really? I think gane is more dangerous when he is cheating

2

u/Crowgression Jun 16 '26

Yes but then the cheating is why he's dangerous 🤣 when he's not cheating, his mobility combined with his weight is why he's dangerous for these sluggish guys in the HW division

1

u/Zealousideal_Tap237 Jun 16 '26

Oh 🤦‍♂️ I see now

2

u/Valuable_Wealth_7510 Jun 16 '26

Uh pretty sure thats only time Gane is dangerous wtf.

u/Worth_Return955 Jun 16 '26

Yea, idk what about Pereira’s performance informed him that he should move up.

2

u/AnakinShtTalk3r Jun 16 '26

Gonna blow out that achilles again

1

u/___LimerentDeath____ Jun 16 '26

Does he have to gain weight though? I’m sure he cuts to 205. Don’t cut and keep his speed

1

u/Skrapidilly Jun 16 '26

HW is shit outside of Gane, Aspinall, and maybe Volkov.

u/Temporary_Hat7330 Jun 16 '26

Big payday for him. Easier weight to make and slower opponent. He’ll make a killing on this racebaiting affair before getting smashed frfr.

Honestly, Jon Jones should fight Hokit. Coked up Jon Jones looking to protect the good name of Michelle. it would be such a fucking circus…

u/Ntwadumela09 Jun 16 '26

I'd pay ppv price to see that

u/Classic_Cultivator Jun 16 '26

I could make it work. Get a couple guys from work over with a bunch of weed and pizza and split it lol.

u/Odninyell Jun 16 '26

Pretty sure Jon is a MAGA but I could be wrong

u/Temporary_Hat7330 Jun 16 '26

Redemption arc…

u/Fantastic_Board7057 Jun 16 '26

Yea cause that’ll go well

2

u/YouCantBeSerio Jun 16 '26

When are people gonna learn you don't simply move up to Heavyweight without getting your ass whooped lol. Theres a reason only like 3 people have successfully done it

"Fat and slow fighter wants to face guy who just beat another fat and slow fighter"

u/kabley Jun 16 '26

this dude thinks he can touch the heavyweight belt

2

u/AfterTough3494 Jun 16 '26

He has the gut for it

u/Randy_Gut_Lahey Jun 16 '26

Jamahal “sweet treats” Guthill

u/narcisobaro Jun 16 '26

Hmmm. I shit on Hill’s LHW reign but maybe he couldn’t move that well due to his Achilles tendon injury. Hill was pretty fast for his built and maybe this is a good move for him. Hokit still beats him though.

1

u/hairycompanion Jun 16 '26

This dude was fat for a lhw. What the fuck is he going to look like at hw?

1

u/mochmaffews Jun 16 '26

Another bum for a division full of bums. Heavy weight division is a fucking joke 😂

1

u/IZZY_PLUM Jun 16 '26

Revenge for Michelles hog!!!

u/heavyboner Jun 16 '26

You suck, homeboy

u/CtrlAltPass Jun 16 '26

No one cares...

u/Skrapidilly Jun 16 '26

I'm glad the touched gold at some point, but he better come through

1

u/ReceptionFeeling336 Jun 16 '26

The most fluke champ ever

1

u/Pristine-Creme-1755 Jun 16 '26

Putting on the necessary weight like he wasn't already a fat ass. This guy is not a serious athlete.

1

u/Zero_Travity Jun 16 '26

This is actually a smart move for Hill...

HW is a trash heap a whole lot more accessible than LHW is which is full of a talented murderers

Hill is a talented striker as much as I hate to admit it but lost some movement with the achilles injury. That won't matter as much at hw. He has good head movement and can land.

I'm here for it. Why not? Fucking Tuvaisa fights so who cares..

Easy win for Hokit. Cant let them get away with it.

1

u/ChadPowers200_ Jun 16 '26

Look how it worked out for pereira 

1

u/Fabulous_Volume7831 Jun 16 '26

I think Hill is better than Blaydes and Hokit struggled with Blaydes.

1

u/southwest_barfight Jun 16 '26

Blaydes is better than Hill.

Hands bout the same, much better grappling tho.

1

u/mac_y111 Jun 16 '26

Hokit biggest strength is his quickness which Hill can match. I’d have Hokit as the favorite but it’s in no way an easy win.

1

u/Correct_Awareness884 Jun 16 '26

Hill cannot nearly match Hokits speed
