JAMAHAL HILL

Representing the United States, Jamahal Hill competes within the light heavyweight division. He initially secured his position in the organization through Dana White's Contender Series during 2019. Training out of Black Lion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he established himself as a formidable contender by defeating opponents such as Thiago Santos, Johnny Walker, and Jimmy Crute. His career reached a peak in early 2023 when he captured the vacant light heavyweight championship by earning a unanimous decision victory over Glover Teixeira.

Entering this September 2026 event, the American holds an overall professional record of 12-4-0 with one no-contest result. His recent performances reflect a difficult stretch against elite competition. He suffered consecutive defeats against Alex Pereira via knockout, Jiří Procházka by technical knockout, and Khalil Rountree Jr. in a unanimous decision.
