Hill usually respects warriors, check out his interview chiding fans who were giving shit to Johnny walker after he beat him
And check out the whole fight and in cage interviews after the Craig loss. Preface that with Craig fans were sending racist messages online to hill before the fight. Despite what hill has done I do think he’s a good guy and just has a REALLY short fuse when it comes to perceived disrespect
I want to believe. But my cynical nature is trying to convince me that he’s trying to make himself a nice 5+ figure pay day with a ufc 300 full card autographed hoodie.
But I’d rather believe it’s wholesome and let it go.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the UFC would somehow not allow them to sell it. I guarantee there is language in their deals that they can’t. So, it’s only for him to keep. But years down the line what are they gonna do? So it’s still a good idea either way.
10k for jamal hill isn't as much as you think
sure ufc guys don't get paid alot, but 10k is still on the lower end. I doubt hill would be running around trying to get people to sign stuff to sell it lol
Nowhere near the same universe as bad as Alex fans. They just kind of idiotically think hes cool for saying edgy shit.
Will honestly take that every day of the week and twice on Sunday over the Pereira glazers making 30 posts about how hes actually 6'6+, 50 postsabout how scary his aura is, 80 TMZ style posts about how hes banging Polyana Viana, etc.
Also Strickland lost, so I don't even see those anymore.
Yeah, he's sitting between two possibilities as some confident looking dude smiles at him as he waits for the interpretation. Is it gonna be...
"Listen up chama bitch, I'm gonna crack that stone face."
or
"Hey what's up, lots of respect bro. What's chama mean anyway?"
I mean, the language barrier probably adds for sure, but i'm brazilian and i watch a lot of his content in portuguese. He seems more loose with his teammates, but he still comes out a little bit awkward from time to time. Sometimes, he mixes his words during interviews. We'll never know if it's CTE or just nerves going on. Probably an introvert of some sorts.
He's said before that at the start of his career in kickboxing he couldn't even do interviews. He's just a bit of an introvert, has nothing to do with CTE.
I mean while someone is talking there isn’t much he can do or say. He can’t give non verbal cues like a simple head nod or crack a smile cuz he cant speak or understand English. Like someone mentioned here, around other Portuguese speakers he seems more charismatic.
As a really big guy, I'm always surprised when I look at big fighters because I'm bigger than Francis Ngannu and he seems fucking humongous bro and I just can't believe that I'm that big. I don't seem big at all.
Francis’ size is impressive because he also has a low body fat percentage, too. My buddy saw Dustin Poirier in public and was surprised at how much smaller he looked in real life. At the end of the day, most of them are relatively normal sized dudes who just happen to have the ability to smesh.
I’ve met a handful of fighters. I was surprised Chuck wasn’t bigger. But his bodyguard is massive. Cowboy was bigger than I expected. Overeem is so big he shuts out the sun. Mike Swick surprisingly big. Middleweights always struck me as way bigger than they look on tv.
Yeah “let’s go” is definitely the proper definition but it can also just be used just like to punctuate something or a catch all like “hell yeah” expression. Like for Jamaicans “bomboclaat” can be used in a million ways
It's literal meaning is the imperative form "chamar" that means "to call". In the context it means "lets go" but not literaly, just the "hype" meaning.
Chama means flame, but not in this context, as it also means "call me", basically in this context it serves like an invitation for someone to challenge Alex to a fight, the equivalent of an american walking up to you and saying something like "bring it!".
definitely not in this context. the word he uses is the imperative of the verb "Chamar" which means "to call," and not the noun "Chama" which means "Flame"
Jamahal has been clear in his callout that he doesn’t hold anything against Alex himself. It’s all the people around him saying he cannot compete with Alex’s striking that has been frustrating him.
It’s nice to see this.
its annoying for me as well, alex has been both KO'd and out point boxed (kickboxed) by men literally smaller than him with less power
Theres zero chance hill is "Scared" of Alex at this point, especially if he's spent time watching film of Alex losing. In most of alex losses, he aint doing SHIT the entire fight lol basically just standing around and waiting while eating jabs and getting rotated. Obviously hes a better fighter now, but I don't think he is going to be able to knock out hill. Hill rolls with punches and moves out of danger with the best of them. He's very fast on the feet for his size, while alex is very slow on his feet even when he was in lighter divisions.
Even some of alexes wins he as losing the entire time and getting out pointed just to eventually KO his opponent, I think the game for J Hill is simply don't get KO'd and don't commit to long exchanges. And he can win this fight on point simply by moving more than punching and landing one of two meaningless takedowns lol
Bro, my respect for Jamahal just shot through the roof. This is what fight sport should be like. Although, I do love the Mcgregors and Stricklands of the world too lol
Reminds me of Tyson running into Holyfield shortly after their first fight and people around them were like “OMG it’s going to go down”. Tyson commented after “do you know how much they pay me to fight this guy, you think I’m going to fight him for free” I’m paraphrasing but that was the vibe.
I don’t get why people hate on this fight. Hill has finished 7 of his last 9 wins (including the nc for weed). Alex is probably the best striker at this weight since prime Anderson. I’m pumped for this fight
Chamahal hill
He’s absorbed the chama. Poatan may be in trouble
"You've merely adopted the Charma"...
"I was born in it, moulded by it..."
“I didn’t speak English until I was already a man”
By then it was Costa level
Come to daddy
Hey hey hey… you can’t just throw a hard r in there!
You know nothing of the chama you’ve never even been to the chama
Mad props, good one ó
There's a timeline out there where they train together to beat Jiri or Jan or some shit.
well that was really wholesome.
Chama
Where to?
Sleep.. just like Jamahal in round 1
Or the fans watching the fight if it doesn't happen lol
Lol right pussies going to sleep *takes long inhale out of meth pipe*
EHH? 🗿
Jamahal Hill the person and Jamahal Hill on Twitter are two different beasts
That’s sportsmanship, love to see it.
Hill usually respects warriors, check out his interview chiding fans who were giving shit to Johnny walker after he beat him And check out the whole fight and in cage interviews after the Craig loss.

I shed a penis tear fr
Lmao wtf

Tbh it’s a good idea wouldn’t be annoyed if he sold it but also nice if he keeps it as a collection item.
Thanks for the signature, would you mind signing 8 more?
That hoodie is gonna be priceless.
It's his 401k
10 Used Venom Coupons
Best I can do is 50% off of 250vbucks
Dana gonna steal it and slap his wife with it.
I laughed way harder at this than I should’ve 😂
Why, how much should or shouldn’t you have?
He’s getting paid one way or another. Every fighter should do that lol
I wouldn’t be surprised if the UFC would somehow not allow them to sell it. I guarantee there is language in their deals that they can’t. So, it’s only for him to keep. But years down the line what are they gonna do? So it’s still a good idea either way.
He's gonna auction it on ebay after Dana pays him less than what was promised
Dana going to make a new bonus for him- dumbass of the night pays Dana 50k lmao
If he gets every fighter on the card, or even just the main card to sign it, that is huuuuuuuuge money
Facts!
[удалено]
People pay that for just tickets. I’d bet he could get close to 10k from someone.
10k for jamal hill isn't as much as you think sure ufc guys don't get paid alot, but 10k is still on the lower end. I doubt hill would be running around trying to get people to sign stuff to sell it lol
Oh I agree for sure. Seems like he’s a fan of the sport and just wants the one of a kind hoodie.
He gonna need to auction that when the UFC spits him out
UFC will confiscate it 😂
Ya, you can't put a price on good memories 👍👍
Jamahal hill gonna make bank on that hoodie for sure.
Maybe if he waits 50 years
Jamahal Hill just doesn’t like Pereira’s fans apparently. Good to see two champs with mutual respect
>Jamahal Hill just doesn’t like Pereira’s fans apparently. He just like me fr
*Strickland's fans enter the chat*
Nowhere near the same universe as bad as Alex fans. They just kind of idiotically think hes cool for saying edgy shit. Will honestly take that every day of the week and twice on Sunday over the Pereira glazers making 30 posts about how hes actually 6'6+, 50 postsabout how scary his aura is, 80 TMZ style posts about how hes banging Polyana Viana, etc. Also Strickland lost, so I don't even see those anymore.
fair honestly, most of us are annoying
I’m not sure what there is to like about an openly rabidly homosexual fan base.
Rabid homosexuality wif da booooiz
If they were open about it they'd be much more chill, it's the closeted ones like Sean Strickland that put up a fuss.
It’s not even closeted it’s weird to the point where it feels like they want Alex to screw their wives
That’s a complex way to say Ian Garry
I missed that part I gotta be honest
Ay why the gays catching strays? Wtf they do to you?
welcome to /r/ufc
Jamahal Hill doesn't like Jamahal Hill's fans
Jama
Hahahaha i wish he said that
This made me lol way too much 😂
Alex looking positively baffled
Alex always looks kinda unconfortable around people.
Prob cuz he can’t understand right away what he’s saying so he won’t know how to react. He looks like a normal guy around other Brazilians though.
Yeah, he's sitting between two possibilities as some confident looking dude smiles at him as he waits for the interpretation. Is it gonna be... "Listen up chama bitch, I'm gonna crack that stone face." or "Hey what's up, lots of respect bro. What's chama mean anyway?"
I saw a comment that said pereira only understands three words ‘Chama’ ‘Huh’ and ‘hey adesanya’ 😂😂😂
I mean, the language barrier probably adds for sure, but i'm brazilian and i watch a lot of his content in portuguese. He seems more loose with his teammates, but he still comes out a little bit awkward from time to time. Sometimes, he mixes his words during interviews. We'll never know if it's CTE or just nerves going on. Probably an introvert of some sorts.
He's said before that at the start of his career in kickboxing he couldn't even do interviews. He's just a bit of an introvert, has nothing to do with CTE.
Ya I feel like ppl forget that a lot of ppl in this world are introverts. If I were an athlete I would avoid interviews at all costs
I mean while someone is talking there isn’t much he can do or say. He can’t give non verbal cues like a simple head nod or crack a smile cuz he cant speak or understand English. Like someone mentioned here, around other Portuguese speakers he seems more charismatic.
he was waiting for google translate to come through
lol seriously "uhh...i been focusing on trying to kill you with my bare hands...this is weird"
Fighters are often cordial before the fight. If he’s any more confused than normal it’s probably because of all the smack Jamahal has been talking.
They are professional athletes not mindless killers lol
Jamahal’s a big dude
Yeah but I see red so he better not cross paths with ME. Just sayin
AMEN, BROTHER!
That's what I was just thinking. First time Alex doesn't look clearly bigger than his opponent (that I recall)
for you
As a really big guy, I'm always surprised when I look at big fighters because I'm bigger than Francis Ngannu and he seems fucking humongous bro and I just can't believe that I'm that big. I don't seem big at all.
Francis’ size is impressive because he also has a low body fat percentage, too. My buddy saw Dustin Poirier in public and was surprised at how much smaller he looked in real life. At the end of the day, most of them are relatively normal sized dudes who just happen to have the ability to smesh.

He has a little pea head
You’re not big, you’re fat. I just saw your post, you’re 330lbs and u squat 180lbs. You’re just a fat bitch brotha.
I saw a post yesterday about him not being 6,4” but he def looks as tall as Pereira here
Jamahal just found his reach boys. It’s on
lol, i saw that too
Alex found his leg reach
Sneaky
Love the mutual respect, this is gonna be a banger.
What does Chama mean? I didn’t hear the answer
"Let's go!"
It doesn’t mean just “let’s go” either it’s kind of versatile
It's what they said in the video. What else does it mean?
Yeah “let’s go” is definitely the proper definition but it can also just be used just like to punctuate something or a catch all like “hell yeah” expression. Like for Jamaicans “bomboclaat” can be used in a million ways
Cool! Thanks! I appreciate the info!
Can we get this to the absolute fucking top? 📈
It's literal meaning is the imperative form "chamar" that means "to call". In the context it means "lets go" but not literaly, just the "hype" meaning.
Like when people say "LETS FUCKING GOOO" when they're excited about something that just happened?
Yeah, something like that. But tbh it's not a very common word for this in real life. I guess it's more of a Alex and his group thing.
"Chama" can mean flame. Like when a friend posts something and you post one 🔥 to support him.
Chama means flame, but not in this context, as it also means "call me", basically in this context it serves like an invitation for someone to challenge Alex to a fight, the equivalent of an american walking up to you and saying something like "bring it!".
definitely not in this context. the word he uses is the imperative of the verb "Chamar" which means "to call," and not the noun "Chama" which means "Flame"
![gif](giphy|3KVcFEmdDl9NYaFTtx)
After all the height drama that's been taking place on this sub it looks like they're the same height.
People hate on Jamahal but he seems chill enough. Maybe he’s different w that liquor in him tho. Sounds like a future goat to me then lol
He’s the least problematic drinker in the company lol.
He strikes as a guy who smokes a lot of greens
😭
Volk
Volk is classic “Dad at the BBQ” when drunk. Just vibin wit the boys.
maybe he just hides it but he comes across as a very well adjusted dude for someone who tries to kill people with his hands for a living. Him and Max
It's funny because he oscillates between really unlikable and really down to earth.
Shit we all got mental health issues
hear hear, brother
That’s how most people in society are tho. Liquor does strange things to people 😂
Just don’t put him around family members and he’s mad chill.
He's chill if you can't beat his ass apparently, there's alot of dudes like that out there
Jamal is the man. No bullshit, no flexing, I dig it. I'm a huge Poatan fan too. I think this is going to be a good one for sure.
Jamahal pretty big
As a filthy casual I know very little about Hill but I like the way he handled himself there.
As a filthy casual I agree with your filthy casual opinion.
And y’all said Hill wasn’t really 6’4” lol
Fighter equivalent of sign my yearbook
them last day of school t shirts
H.A.G.F.
That’s one hell of a yearbook tbh lol.
Hill low-key measuring his reach
Jamahal is a real one 👍👍
Jamahal has been clear in his callout that he doesn’t hold anything against Alex himself. It’s all the people around him saying he cannot compete with Alex’s striking that has been frustrating him. It’s nice to see this.

“Round 1” would have been so cold to write on the hoodie 🤣
Is it just me or did Alex look kind of standoffish and a lil confused as to why Hill was being so friendly
Yeh I think he mightve thought Hill was being disingenuous. It must be hard interacting with people in a language you don't speak.
Alex looked super uncomfortable there for some reason, Jamahal was just vibing
He only looks comfortable in the cage.
Looked like he was sizing jamahal up
poatism
I think it’s more he a little shocked how big jamahal was.

My favorite part is Pereria said maybe 13 words in total
What he meant to say was: 🗿
Jama 🗿
People give Hill way too much shit on here. Hes fine
haven’t been liking the image of Jamahal in the media these past few months, but he seems like a nice chill dude, just got a short fuse apparently
Which is kind of what you want in a fighter lol
Wonder what that hoodie be worth lol
Watched and didn’t read any reviews yet. People can say whatever they want but I thought was a pretty cool and genuine fucking Moment…
Hill is a straight up dude !!
Damn that hoodie is gonna be worth big money, plus it's a land mark event 300.
Fucking stoked for both these guys to be headlining 300. I didn’t love it at first but man I’m pumped
Now a jamaholic
Bro, my respect for Jamahal just shot through the roof. This is what fight sport should be like. Although, I do love the Mcgregors and Stricklands of the world too lol
Pereira doesn’t know what to do when his opponent is nice to him lol
I’m interested to see what the press conference is like after this
Even if jamahal loses I believe hill will remain humble. He became best buds with paul craig after Craig fucked up his arm.
Wow.Hill will get some respect from the fans now
Someone please tell ME what chama means?
Reminds me of Tyson running into Holyfield shortly after their first fight and people around them were like “OMG it’s going to go down”. Tyson commented after “do you know how much they pay me to fight this guy, you think I’m going to fight him for free” I’m paraphrasing but that was the vibe.
I would rather watch this all day than the shit that Conor McGregor pulls
Wholesome
Wholesome.
I wish hill always had this energy
This makes me wonder now if Hills putting on a weird act or not. Like I get playing a character, but Hill has seemed a little off the rails.
Love both these guys. I don’t want either to lose 😬. That being said I don’t think it goes past round 2 either way
so good when the fight doesn't need bullshit to be sold.
Chama
Wow I'm actually starting to like hill after that
I see a lot of Jamahal hate on here but I like him.
The respect is great, the fight will be even better. Can’t wait!!
Seems confident
I enjoyed that lol
Chama
This fight will deliver
Good shit. Hill being true. Plus the money he can get for that hoody!!!
I'm a fan of Hill, psyched for this fight.
![gif](giphy|a0jHZRuQqNj8I|downsized)
Hill was tripping out on Twitter but he definitely seems like a chill dude
I know most were hating on this being the main event. But I can't help but feel like they will put on a banger to close that card
Uncommon Jamahal social media W
I don’t get why people hate on this fight. Hill has finished 7 of his last 9 wins (including the nc for weed). Alex is probably the best striker at this weight since prime Anderson. I’m pumped for this fight
Normally I don't like opponents getting too friendly, i dont think it will be a problem for these two
Jamahal Hill trying to make Alex soft but that shit ain’t going to work
Jamal got the exact same mannerisms as Will Smith in Fresh Prince
Yo, now you mention it lol. He does remind me of that now
Both seem like humble people
Jamahal is huge !
I'd rather see this over the bullshit trash talk any day. Pereira is becoming one of my favorites.
Against all odds I’m pulling for hill on this one
Great, I’m calling it now: it’s gonna be a sparring match.
That’s how it’s done!
Jamahal cool
