An American striker from Chicago, Jamahal Hill trains out of Black Lion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The orthodox competitor entered the UFC's light heavyweight division in 2020, quickly establishing himself with his formidable knockout power. This striking prowess led him to a career-defining victory over Glover Teixeira, which earned the fighter the divisional championship.

Ahead of the October 2023 event, Hill carries a 12-1 record with one no-contest. Following his TKO defeat against Paul Craig in June 2021, he rebounded with four straight wins. Hill achieved consecutive knockouts against Jimmy Crute and Johnny Walker, stopped Thiago Santos with strikes, and most recently secured a unanimous decision victory over Teixeira.
