Hill was supposed to face Khalil Rountree, and then Carlos Ulberg, in the UFC 303 co-main event before withdrawing due to injury. A timeline for his return to the Octagon has yet to be publicized.

Hill captured the then-vacant title by defeating Glover Teixeira at UFC 283. Months later, he suffered an Achilles injury that forced him to vacate the title, which Pereira won in November.

Hill has the chance to get a rematch against Pereira with a victory in his next fight. As for Pereira, he’s likely set to face the surging Ankalaev for his next title defense.

Pereira had a one-word response to Hill’s cold reaction to his knockout, answering “Okay” to a reporter’s question at the post-fight press conference.

Hill and Pereira could potentially be on a collision course for a second time down the line, but for now, both are set to meet different adversaries. But, tensions remain thick between both sides.
