Mixed martial arts career[edit]
Early career[edit]
Starting his career in 2017, Hill started his professional career 5-0, four of the five fights coming under the KnockOut Promotions banner. In just his fourth professional fight Hill defeated future UFC fighter Dequan Townsend despite Townsend having twenty-six pro appearances prior to that bout.[6]
Hill then received the call to appear on season 3 of Dana White's Contender Series back in 2019, where Hill defeated opponent Alexander Poppeck via second-round ground and pound, earning his UFC contract.[7]
Ultimate Fighting Championship[edit]
Hill made his UFC debut against Darko Stošić on January 25 2020 at UFC Fight Night 166.[8] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[9]
Hill faced Klidson Abreu on May 30, 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Woodley vs. Burns.[10] He initially won the fight via technical knockout in the first round, but the fight was later overturned on September 3 because Hill tested positive for marijuana.[11] He was suspended six months and fined 15% of his fight purse.[11]
Hill faced Ovince Saint Preux on December 5, 2020 at UFC on ESPN 19.[12] At the weigh-ins, former interim UFC Light Heavyweight Championship challenger Ovince Saint Preux weighed in at 207.5 pounds, one and a half pounds over the light heavyweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at a catchweight and Saint Preux was fined 20% of his individual purse, which went to Hill.[13] Hill won the fight via second round TKO.[14]
Hill is scheduled to face Paul Craig on March 20, 2021 UFC on ESPN 21.[15]
