JAKARTA - In the final moment before the top UFC 300 match, Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill boasted that they would bring down their opponents on Saturday night or Sunday, April 14 morning, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Hill, who was faced with screams from the crowd, ignored the reception in Las Vegas and spoke about his return from an Achilles injury that almost ended his career. "This is everything for me," Hill told UFC commentator Joe Rogan after meeting the Pereira champion.

"Regardless of how you all feel, what made me almost lost, what almost happened to me, what could have happened to me, it made me burn. It definitely made me burn. Regardless of all, I came to give everything there. I'm just happy to be back, "said Hill.

Meanwhile, Pereira vowed to make her first light heavyweight title challenger pay for her disrespectful attitude at this Saturday's event press conference. Boast Hill seemed to be against Hill's previous stance. Pereira clearly stated that she was not happy with the change.

"Well, it's a great opportunity to fight in UFC 300," Pereira said through an interpreter. "It's a great opportunity. I'm very excited about that. A few days ago, this guy said he respected me, even asked me to sign his shirt, and he did what he did yesterday. But he will get his reply tomorrow."

Pereira and Hill became the main stars of UFC 300 on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Pereira defended the belt after winning an empty title by making Jiri Prochazka knockout at UFC 295.

Hill hopes to reclaim his lost title belt when he submits the title after an Achilles injury, which leaves him 15 months out after winning the title over Glover Teixeira at UFC 283.
