Alex Periera vs. Jamahal Hill: who is the favorite to win?

After Dana White’s announcement of the UFC 300 main event, which wasn’t as big as the fans expected, even though the main event announced for UFC 300 is promising as it features a light heavyweight title bout between reigning champion Alex Periera and former champion Jamahal Hill, who renounced his title earlier due to an injury, UFC 300 is one of the biggest events of the year 2024, and fans are equally hyped up for the fight cards of the events and have started choosing their favorites to win in the bouts. According to various sports betting sites, Alex Periera is a clear favorite going into this fight, and Jamahal Hill is an underdog.

Alex Periera rose to fame after his infamous victory over Israel Adesanya, where he knocked out the former champion to win the middleweight belt, and then he moved up in the weight class to the light heavyweight division, where he beat Jiří Procházka in the title fight to become the light heavyweight champion. Though he lost his welterweight belt to Israel Adesanya in a rematch before moving higher in the weight class, he proved how good a fighter he is. On the other hand, Jamahal Hill was out of action after his last fight against Glover Texiera. Though he is an underdog coming into this fight, no one can underrate his power against one of the vicious knockout artists.

At T-Moble Arena in Las Vegas on April 13, Alex Periera has the opportunity to defend his title against his opponent, who is on a four-fight winning streak and has only lost once in his UFC career so far. So far, both fighters are deadly with their hands, and it will be exciting to see who will throw his hands over the other earlier in the fight.
