“This guy is impressive. You can’t help but be a fan of what he does. He said it in the staredown (with Magomed Ankalayev): 'I don't want to go back to the tire shop.' Anyone who came from the bottom and rose to this level, they felt that, they don't want to go back to where they were. You can definitely draw inspiration from that. I was there (in the arena), you could feel the energy when he won, when he got the victory. He set it on fire. Keep the division interesting, we have a big star now," Hill declared on his YouTube channel.

Despite Hill's request, the Brazilian's intention is to move up to heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg), preferably facing Jon Jones in a super fight at UFC Casa Branca, scheduled for June 2026.
