Pereira, known for his explosive knockout power, is ranked No. 7 on ESPN’s pound-for-pound list. He holds an impressive record of 9 wins and 2 losses.

Hill, on the other hand, has been on a winning streak. The 32-year-old Chicago native has won four consecutive fights and holds a record of 12 wins, 1 loss, and 1 no contest. He previously held the light heavyweight title but had to relinquish it due to a torn Achilles tendon. Hill’s most notable victory came against Glover Teixeira, where he captured the title in January 2023.
