The last thing I have heard about him that only in early 2024 he will get back to fully training MMA. His injury was torn achilles, and for normal person it takes half a year for a total recovery. For a professional athlete it will take quicker, but I cant imagine how long it will take to get back to previous results. Dont know how much it is gonna take Hill to recover. He is a puncher, but footwork is also important for him. If he was a kicker, then I think we would have to wait longer. I have checked his Instagram, and he is no way close to gym
For sure he is doing fine, and currently chilling in his podcast right now and getting his reaction on the current event for the UFC, his latest Podcast was about the Sean Strickland altercation against Dricus Du Plessis, in the crowd on UFC 296, it was action inside the octagon and action outside the octagon, so yeah returning to Jamahal Hill he is still healing up those injuries for sure,
For sure that is what may happen in the next fight for Magomed Ankalaev, the UFC will not give them the title match right now but instead, they will give him another higher rank fight, and those 2 fighter I think Jamahal Hill will be easy for Ankalaev, but Jiří Procházka may be difficult because of his ground game but against a Glover Texeira that is now old a 31 Ankalaev is definitely much stronger than the recent Texeira, so yeah maybe 1 of these two will be the opponent of Magomed Ankalaev next,
I didn't think he got lucky. I think he actually did the hard work and he was able to earn the belt. Now there is a catch. People will tell me that if he actually earned the belt, he should be able to defend the belt successfully, but I think it is going to be hard for him for sure.
I don't know if DDP will knock him out or not. But I think this is a hard fight for Strickland and I won't be surprised if he actually gets knocked out by Du Plessis. But it is also not going to be a surprise for me if Strickland can actually win this fight.
What I am trying to say is that this fight is going to be 50-50 for both of the fighters. And I also think that in this fight, timing is going to be everything.

We can not blame others who think Sean Strickland got that belt because of luck as many here are fans of Israel Adesanya and because Alex Pereira defeated Strickland in the past and Adesanya made a comeback for his belt and won a great battle against Alex Pereira you can not blame them if they think that Adesanya can beat Strickland easily, as that Trash talking has got into him for sure Sean Strickland will still need to prove his worth, for sure that defense of Strickland really is effective against Adesanya for sure he is still enhancing that defense of him,
