LAS VEGAS – Even though it wasn’t easy, Jamahal Hill managed to pull through in Las Vegas on Saturday.
There was a TKO victory for Hill (11-1 MMA, 5-1) against Thiago Santos (22-11 MMA, 14-10 UFC) at 2:31 of Round 4 in the main event of UFC on ESPN 40.
A TKO secured a 100% finishing percentage for the entire event for only the second time in UFC history.
When analyst Michael Bisping asked Hill about his post-fight anecdote, a visibly and audibly exhausted Hill said, people need to stop talking about his experience as an insult.
After defeating Jimmy Crute and Johnny Walker in the opening round, Hill went on to win UFC on ESPN 40 by a unanimous decision.
