Jamahal Hill doesn’t think Magomed Ankalaev should get the next title shot

Although UFC CEO Dana White said Magomed Ankalaev will be getting the next title shot, Jamahal Hill doesn’t think that should be the case.

Instead, Hill thinks Ankalaev shouldn’t be rewarded with a title shot after a boring fight.

“Magomed is wholeheartedly a counterfighter,” Hill said. “That’s what I mean by lack of tools. Lack of tools is being able to come forward and enter, things that actually get you forward and enter into range. That’s not something that he’s good at doing, which against Alex and I, is going to be a problem.

“Assuming he gets the title shot now, giving somebody a title shot off a performance like that, I mean, obviously he’s got the resume and deserves the title shot, but that performance sucked, and I know they (UFC) don’t like him. So, you never know,” Hill concluded.

However, all signs point to Ankalaev getting the next title shot. Hill, meanwhile, doesn’t have his next fight booked and hasn’t fought since he was knocked out by Alex Pereira at UFC 300.
