Gilbert
Burns recently had an interesting conversation with Jamahal
Hill.
After the confrontation between Hill and Alex
Pereira made the rounds on social media, Burns was helping
teammate Vicente
Luque with his weight cut at the UFC Performance Institute when
“Sweet Dreams” made an appearance. On his YouTube channel, Burns
revealed what Hill told him.
“When the food has been in the pan for a long time and it will
become hard, you have to add water to cook it. That’s what I did,”
Burns said, relaying Hill’s words. “I’m going to beat Jiri
[Prochazka] and get my revenge before [Magomed] Ankalaev, who will
be [observing] Ramadan. I don’t care what people think, everyone’s
talking about me after that.
Burns also praised the way Hill handled the recent confrontation
with “Poatan.”
“Just like most people, I didn’t like what he did when I saw the
video,” Burns said. “But when I heard from him I have to recognize,
considering the scenario, Hill was really intelligent. And if you
are talking about that, like I am now, it means you were also
hooked by Hill´s marketing strategy and you want to see him against
‘Poatan’ again.”
UFC Fight Pass Brazil commentator Carlos
Barreto agreed with Burns on his weekly program Papo de
Luta.
“I’m an old school guy. I don’t like this kind of attitude,
[especially] if the guy kicked my ass, but we have to recognize,
considering that Ankalaev is not the most exciting fighter, that by
creating this [storyline], Hill can cut the line and reach his
goal,” Barreto said.
Hill will face Prochazka at UFC 311
on Jan. 18 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Barreto has tabbed
“Sweet Dreams” as the favorite against his Czech opponent.
“In my opinion, Hill will win this fight and bring a different
challenge to ‘Poatan’ in the rematch,” Barreto said. “We have to
consider that in the first fight Hill was out of shape coming from
a serious surgery. He just fought [to fulfill] a UFC request to
save the show. I was really impressed by what Hill did in Rio
against Glover in a totally hostile atmosphere. He overcame many
tough moments and beated a real champion at home . If He beats Jiri
and gets the rematch in his best condition, ‘Poatan’ vs Hill 2 will
be a hell of a fight.”
