Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill has provided an update on his planned return to action following knee surgery.
A few months ago, it was revealed that Jamahal Hill may be on the shelf for a year after undergoing knee surgery. It comes in the wake of three consecutive defeats for the former champion, which came at the hands of Alex Pereira, Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree Jr.
If he returns, it appears Jamahal Hill is interested in potentially moving up to the heavyweight division. Either way, the priority is getting him healthy ahead of what looks to be a long road to recovery.
In one recent interviewJust a few months after the operation, Jamahal Hill said the following about how things are going.
Jamahal Hill discusses the return of UFC
“We’re about two and a half months post-op now, so I’m feeling good, you know. I’m feeling good, I’m going to get back into it. It’s recovery, you know. It’s a process, it takes time. It’s a process that I know, that I’m not the happiest going through, but you know, I’m going to attack it. I’m just going to tackle it the best way I can.”
“I haven’t been able to train for a while. I had the injuries after the fight and had to go from that to surgery. So now I’m just hungry to get back to work. It had its negatives and its positives. It definitely lit a fire under me, just being away for a while, just being able to sit back and breathe a little bit.”
“I’ve recently been cleared to return to S&C. We’re putting together a plan. I’m working with the guys and the ladies at PI – the PT staff, the S&C staff – and we’re putting together a plan to get the results we want. The best version of myself. We’re going to get rid of the belly, we’re going to split up, we’re going to see what that best body looks like on me.”
