Neither Hill nor Pereira are submission experts, so the above UFC prop bet implies plenty of striking in this bout.

Pereira has a 33-7 professional kickboxing record, and his leg striking is certainly something Hill will have to contend with. Alex combines his kicking prowess with freakish punching strength.

Check out this video for evidence of his punching power.

While there’s no denying the destructive potential held in Pereira’s hands, Hill’s opponents have had trouble landing punches. However, Jamahal’s only loss was a TKO defeat to Paul Craig, proving his mortality and the potential to break through his defenses.

Tune in Saturday to find out whether Hill regains the title he never lost, or a Pereira reign begins.
