The light heavyweight champion, Pereira would be defending his title against the former champion, who had to relinquish his belt due to injury. This match has been on the cards since Pereira defeated Jiri Prochazka to take the belt and seems like it’s finally happening. Their interaction at the UFC 300 media day stirred hype all over. Regardless, ahead of their clash, let us have a look at how much amount the stars are getting to fight each other.

Jamahal Hill is earning a fortune in his fight against Alex Pereira and there’s possibility for more!

Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill’s last payout was a massive fortune for both fighters. According to reports by various sources, Pereira’s last payout was $1,132,000 when he fought against Jiri Prochazka for the light heavyweight title. In contrast to ‘Poatan’s massive million-dollar payout, Hill’s salary was a bit less.

Sources state that Hill was paid $392,000 for his match against Glover Teixeria. Well, the amount of money Hill is going to make at the event is dependent on his performance but according to sources, Hill is about to make more than $400,000 in his outing at UFC 300.

Interestingly, Dana White’s announcement of increasing the bonus amount from $50000 to $300000 will have an impact on fighters’ earnings. So let us say, if Hill wins his battle against Pereria and wins the bonus as well then there’s a high probability that he will be getting much more than a million dollars.

Jamahal Hill has a strong record of 13 victories and 1 loss in his MMA career, however, getting through Pereira would be tough considering the fact that he is one of the best in the current generation. The road is tough but according to UFC’s new star, ‘MVP’, Hill is winning the fight and getting the belt back.

“I’m going to give it to Jamahal Hill. I’m a fan of what Pereira’s done so far. I just don’t like when people try to just be the tough guy. …His style is, ‘I’m the tough guy, take shots, give shots.’ I class that as a 50-50 style. Win some, lose some,” said MVP on his YouTube handle.

The main event of the grand night is just hours away from happening and the stage is ready to witness some bloodied fights. Who do you think will get the light heavyweight belt? Will it be Jamahal Hill’s comeback success or will it be Alex Pereira’s successful defense? State your thoughts in the comments below.
