He will get his respect. Congrats champ 💪🏾🍾
He will have to earn more than he's already got... it's the UFC. It takes many champs multiple defenses before they are "respected." Ask Kamaru.
Alex Pereira is coming for him
@@beauaIloevv Alex scared to move up 😂 fight never gone happen keep dreaming
@@beauaIloevv bruh stop meat riding Periera

Hill also lost his aunt recently so a bittersweet victory period for him. Congrats Champ!

"I never fought anyone like that" You fought a Champion... Champ
As an avid MMA fan, I understood why everyone was expecting Glover to win, but I knew Jamahal Hill was absolutely going to bring it. He brought that gamer, never-quit attitude to the fight and I just had this feeling he was going to have his best performance ever. He showed up, man it was amazing to see such a humble awesome dude to get the CHAMPIONSHIP
Glover loves a brawl & Hill the best at that besides Jiri👋🏼
Well it's actually the opposite, the bookies had Jamahal as a big favourite. Meaning he consensus was that he was MUCH more likely to win than Glover.
The odds were at a pick-em. The odds were -115 both ways
As a vegan crossfitter, it was pretty obvious to every that the 44 year old Glover was done
Yea, He showed Up,N Showed Out
Super respectful dude he deserves all the praise
Credit to you guys for showing him some love. From the UK 🇬🇧. Top bloke
I honestly thought he would lose but he learnt from his loss against a grappler and the improvement he showed is nothing short of amazing congratulations Jamal Hill, it is well deserved. 💯👏
He lost to Paul Craig, who is a ju-jitsu guy, not a grappler, you fool

america's champ!💯

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 yessir
I'm so proud. Aljo is American but I can't be proud of aljo. Im incredibly proud of Hill.
@@preston2636 nobody likes aljo, he fights Yan in his home country, and the Crowd’s cheerin’ for the *Russian* 😂
@@Temp82828 jiri first
I cant belive how much his grappling has improved i had serious doubt but none anymore what a beast
Doesn't do Hill's performance justice. Glover is a dog with hella experience. He put on a masterclass.
preach
The champ is here respect that man frfr!!!!
That just shows how strong rumble johnson was to KO Glover in the first round. RIP Georgias Finest
with 1 punch no less! Has to be one of the hardest punchers of all time
RIP Warrior
Rumble fought him before he could roll with punch’s especially uppercuts gus koed him too
Glover is older and tougher now though, but of course Rumble is more powerful because of his build.
@@michaelbeard4883 That Gus ko was vicious. But it took 3 uppercuts in a row then a hook to put glover down. Rumble barely touched glover and he was asleep trying to wrestle the referee. Rumble destroyed Gus in his hometown. He was just a monster.
I was rooting for him when the fight got announced and I'm very happy for him he put on a terrific performance on Saturday.
Man my emotions watching this fight were all over the place I almost had to stop watching when glover when him down in the 5th, I was really rooting for jamahal man, did it and brought the belt home, congrats 🏆
When hard work finally pays off. Way to go Jamahal.
Nice to have another US champion 🇺🇸🎉
Born in Chicago. Makes me happy that he was from my hometown
I'm happy for Mr Hill 👊🏿
I'm so happy that Michigan has a champ!! Glover retired but went out like a warrior.
What impressed me the most about Hill was his composure and confidence. Don’t worry pimp, they gon respect you now. Congratulations 👍
They won't until he knocks jiri out, then they will fear him
Hill brought it back home 🏆🇺🇸
Never was home
@@fazoland5528 Jon jones is in the United States bruh . He was the LHW King 👑
@@Tonyjohnson2523 oh ok thought u were talking about michigan lol
Alex pereira is coming for his belt
Take down defense was perfect ! Was not expecting that from Jamal.
Nice to see him get his much deserved respect
Happy for this man
proud of this man 💯
Salute from Louisiana. Mal did it 🤸
Yes
i wish people from america supported their fighters like the rest of the world, that welcome should of been way bigger!
Good on him. Showed people what's up
Still ain’t getting the respect he deserves
yeah cuz he’s losing that belt next fight to jiri/ alex
congrats j hill! thanks for repping' our state well!
After that fight with glover, Jamahal Hill is 2nd favorite champ just behind Volk. It was an awesome fight and excited for his next fight, hopefully with Jiri.
Hill is going to have a long running reign as LHW champion. He wil go down as one of the legends.
Idk man I think Jiri can take him.
@@doctorshutup9817 I think Jiri is an overall better striker but man Jamahal is so smart. Jiri was very back and forth with Glover but Jamahal went through him. I think Hill can do it, I feel like when people get a championship belt they usually improve like crazy as well
@@m.w.r.1408 Yeah I think when you get the strap you get better marketing/more money and can probably fund better training/camps. It'll be a good scrap for sure I think but who knows how soon Jiri will be back. Jamal might have a fight before that.
What LOL
@@doctorshutup9817 Yeah tbh I don't think Jiri is going to be back with in 3-4 months like he said he would. If he does come back so soon... that's asking for a permanent career-ending injury so I hope he takes his time
Watching him get better and better and then beating Glover in Brazil is about as good as it can get. He didn't just win by quick KO, he had to deal with adversity in last round in 5 rd fight, on short notice, in Brazil, then gets mounted with 3 minutes left......Heart. No Quit and he learns from his fights and fixes holes. Love the Headkick. His length, boxing, TD defense and Kicks are a welcome addition. He beats most at LHW. Wonder if UFC lets Perriera go 205 for superfight with his Glover connection and trouble making 185.
Bringing the belt back to the USA and Michigan at that lets go sweet dreams !
Both fighters are amazing and truly showed a lot of respect for one another.
Congrats champ dreams do come true
the welcome difference compared to champs from europe is insane
An absolute war it was. a bit one-sided though, but Glover proved why he is who they say he is. He held on, never gave up, and went into retirement (good on him) out on his shield. Respect to both, Hill is a good up and comer who got a late replacement chance at it and got it. And Glover... 43... Father time still catches you.
What a champion!!
awesome congrats to the man
So happy Jamahal "Sweet Dreams" Hill! Went into enemy territory and claimed the belt. Has great boxing skills and TD defense. Hope to see him defend the belt a few times.
- pigeon chest merchant , & THE MMA GURU (lNCEL) fan
I like the way he carries his belt
So much respect for this guy
Congratulations Jamahal. Hopefully We can have a good reception event for him!
So happy for Hill ! I thought he was about to get dominated by Glover I was wrong
Ayyyee Michigan got a ufc champ
Can news stations really never find a person who is into mma content and actually bring some excitement to these news stories? Its so cringy watching these old people pretend to care
Idk, I think that sports anchorman was into it. Maybe the rest of them didn't know wtf he was talking about but you could tell when he mentioned the significant strike number that he was genuinely impressed.
Glad he’s home safe! Well deserved champ
🙏🏾✌🏾🐜God Bless You🙏🏾✌🏾🐜
Congratulations Sweet Dreams u deserve it blessings yes 👍 🙏 ✨
been Jamahal fans since day 1 from DWCS, love his fighting spirit, however the other top 3 contenders on L.H.W. division are straight up savages, Ankalaev, Błachowicz, & Rakić are coming after him
legend
Lets go champ
This is just cool man
Let’s goooooo
We see you champ👀
Jamahal ❤
The Champ is here!!!!
Keep that chip on your shoulder It’ll keep u at the top ANDNEW Jamahal sweet dreams hill 👌
Imagine getting choked out by a ref lol
Lets go !
Straight up UNDERDOG. We all thought glover was going to dog walk jamahal.
Number 1!!!!!
Jamahal is an even better human being than he is a fighter! Congratulations brotha
Yessir. Lets go Hill 🇺🇲🇺🇲 he defends 3 times atleast
Could tell from hills eyes during the fight that he got that dog in him
🔥
Had a bet for the fight to go the distance at $4.30 had it on a parlay aswell 😩😩
America 🇺🇸 congratulations hopefully people start rooting for American fighters again I was going to use a Nate Diaz quote but they asked us to be respectful🤣
Let’s go
hill got den hands!
Up next for Hill may be a super fight between him and Glover's training buddy the current middleweight champ Alex Pereira
Totally not earned for Pereira he needs to rematch Izzy and then defend
Nothing against Jamahal but he gonna get murked by Pereira and most other top LHWs
@@thesilentassassin1167 top LHWs like?
@@thesilentassassin1167 I could not disagree more
Homecoming
lets gooooo
Treat him right
Champ!
Kamaru Usman is the first, was in the contender series, won the belt and became #1 pound for pound.
HIM.
A very "triumph-rant" return
Decent little fighter but i see him losing to jiri or ankalaev
How to jiri? Jiri gets stunned by every opponent, glover included, hill dominated every UFC win..... glover included 😅
Great champ ,i like him but Jiří is coming soon ...
Usa usa usa usa!
USA!!!!!
And he lost his baby bro before the fight
Lol. He said hill beat him up with punches and kicks but glover would not tap. This dude doesn't understand mma haha 😂
Happy for the guy but Jiri is looming...
So? Lol hill landed 100 more significant strikes, jiri will be knocked out, he was lucky to get passed Reyes who is on a massive decline
@@mikejames4910 lucky to get past him? He absolutely demolished him did you watch the fight?
@@doctorshutup9817 the fight where he got nearly knocked out.....yes idk what kind of domination you saw....
@@mikejames4910 lol he got KO'd in rd 2 gimme a break dude. Jiri's gonna sleep Jamal too sorry bud.
@@doctorshutup9817 both glover and Reyes stunned jiri, jiri will sleep when hill touches his chin, no one's come remotely close to sleeping hill, stop dreaming, and they beat glover in two completely different ways, jiri squeezed by with a win, Jamal took it decisively. Jiri is an ok fighter but that suspect defense won't do against hill
I wanted glover to win up until the 5th round ended, but I am so happy for Jamahal. To see someone accomplish their goals and in such a dominant victory is an inspiration.
Lowest level champion the lightweight has ever seen couldn't even finish what looked like a pensioner
Finally a champ Americans can be proud of. Congrats Jamahal. This is 100 percent deserved. He earned it.
He looked good
Jamal Hill is the best champ!
