“Honestly, for me, now it’s not even about the belt, it’s about having a new fight against Alex (Poatan). I want to fight Alex again, just because of the narrative surrounding it. I know what I was feeling there and I know what kind of timing really happens every time we go in there again. I don't care (about Poatan's next fight), all I know is that Jamahal 'Sweet Dreams' Hill is in his future,” Hill said.

Poatan and Hill were in the main fight of the UFC 300, which took place on April 13th.
