Opponent of Johnny Walker No. UFC Las Vegas 48, Jamahal hill decided to innovate the weigh-in for this Saturday's event (19). In a ceremony held this Friday (18), the light heavyweight (up to 93kg.) stole the show and imitated the tradition of Tai tuivasa in company. After securing his 92,9kg, the combatant decided to 'drink in tennis', just like the heavyweight (up to 120,2kg) of the company does.

Typically, Tuivasa 'toasts' his victories with beer. As he will be competing this weekend, Hill opted for a 'non-alcoholic' drink. In the image (see below), it is possible to see the moment of the celebration.

This weekend, Jamahal will have the opportunity to advance in the category led by Glover Teixeira. Today, in 12th position, the fighter will be able to take the place of Johnny Walker, in 10th, in case of a positive result.

Famous for his knockout power, Hill is looking for his second positive result in a row. Last season, the athlete ended up losing his unbeaten record in his career, when he was knocked out by Paul Craig.

Seeking to resume his good form in the organization, Walker will step into the octagon under pressure for a positive result. Brazilian promise in light heavyweight, the Brazilian has accumulated three stumbles in his last five appearances.
