What has been said?
Hill has revealed that he turned to Israel Adesanya, Pereira’s long-time adversary, for advice ahead of UFC 300.
“I had some fight-related, in-depth, technological questions that I had for him to just pick his mind and his experience in that realm,” he said.
“He’s one of the best minds that we’ve had in our sport, he’s one of the most experienced combat sports athletes of recent memory and I’m always a student and always ready to learn.
“Izzy’s my bro so if he’s willing to talk, let me know, put me on game and show me something, I’m going to shut up and I’m going to listen.”
