Israel Adesnya reveals how Jamahal Hill can beat “Poatan”.

Many people are giving their analysis on how the main event of UFC 300 will play out. Even Israel Adesanya recently shared a video detailing the fight between Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill. As scary as “Poatan” seems, “Izzy” knows he’s beatable, which he proved at UFC 287. Apparently Hill agrees. Adesanya said: “Jamahal made that clear and said he was beatable. We all know that. I proved it.”

The former champion believes Jamahal Hill will look to capitalize on his striking skills after assessing Alex Pereira. The most important thing for him, however, is to avoid the champion's deadly kicks. Hill will have to use his defensive skills and that could prove to be a turning point in the fight. “Jamahal will just try to touch him at some point, but it's difficult to avoid the leg kicks. I know Jamahal has some remedies for this.” Adesanya added. The result will be visible to fans in a few days.
