Eugene Bareman, the coach for UFC champion Israel Adesanya, believes Jamahal Hill should be the next opponent. And it should take place at light heavyweight.
Bareman appeared on Submission Radio recently to discuss the potential fight.
“Let’s do it. Let’s do it,” Bareman said. “And honestly, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter (about whether we match up well with the current champ). Like, every fighter that you fight will have flaws. And that’s up to the opponent and the team to take advantage of them.
“So, Jamahal Hill, I’m not being disrespectful, I haven’t seen him fight yet, I don’t think. But I don’t watch the fights. I just watch my guys fight. I don’t watch UFC fights. I watch my guys fight generally, and that’s it. So, he’s a very tough champion.
“If you’re a world champion, you’re the best of the best, I’m sure. He is a very tough fight. I’ve seen him at the after party, I’m sure he is a nice fella. But it’s not about that. Like, it’s about the challenges, man. When you get to this level, it’s about challenges. Let’s do it. Sign it, like, get it done, boys. Can you get it done?”
