If there was, Jamahal hill ended all doubts about his relationship with Magomed Ankalayev. He hates Russian. But apparently he has even less appreciation for Alex Poatán. The former light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg) pointed out a series of advantages that Ankalaev has over the Brazilian in a possible fight. The technical praise was given during an interview even after a torrent of insults.

“I want to knock out Magomed just because, to me, he’s an asshole. He talks like an asshole, he reacts like an asshole. I don’t really play with him that much. So, f*ck him,” Jamahal said. 'Inside Fighting'.

After the agenda became Magomed Ankalayev, the level of the interview only got lower. The American did not hold back when referring to the fighter.

“He and a few other people do this shit, but he’s the cheesiest piece of shit that does it. Even when they announced the fight Khalil rountree against Pereira, I thought it should have been Magomed. So I said that and this motherf*cker tries to say I'm crying? Wait a minute: I'm just saying what I'm thinking, and you're acting like a b*tch like that?” Hill raged.

But when the subject turned to a possible clash between Ankalaev and Poatan, the tone surprisingly softened. Magomev has reiterated the challenge with frequent attacks on the Brazilian. 'Sweet Dreams''s preference, even after the insults, is the Russian.

“Alex is a fighter who comes forward and he kind of leaves himself open to counters. Ankalaev counters with combinations, so there will be openings for him to land. Plus, Ankalaev is southpaw, so that’s another puzzle for him. So with Ankalaev’s wrestling, I would definitely bet on him.”

'Do as I say, not as I do'
