Jamahal Hill unfortunately informs us about rapturing his Achilles and having to take time away to heal now. He will follow in Jiri’s footsteps in vacating the title until he can come back 100 percent.

I’m sad about this news but know that he’ll come back better than ever. Salute to Hill and congrats on the journey he has carved himself out so far!

What a shame. I hope he recovers. LHW is cursed at the moment. Błachowicz vs Pereira for the vacant title? Would be weird to make that the new main event.

LHW feels cursed. Since November 2022 they’ve had Jiri’s injury, the Ankalaev-Blachowicz draw, and now Hill’s injury too.

Don't forget Rakic's blown knee. Though that was at least partly due to Jan's kicking work.

Maybe Jiri vs Adesanya in Australia for the vacant title.
