Does anybody have any update on Hill? Has he fully recovered from whatever injury he had suffered? If so, he should be the one fighting Pereira next and Ankalaev could face a winner of Prohazka Vs Rakic, and whoever wins gets the next title shot.
The last thing I have heard about him that only in early 2024 he will get back to fully training MMA. His injury was torn achilles, and for normal person it takes half a year for a total recovery. For a professional athlete it will take quicker, but I cant imagine how long it will take to get back to previous results. Dont know how much it is gonna take Hill to recover. He is a puncher, but footwork is also important for him. If he was a kicker, then I think we would have to wait longer. I have checked his Instagram, and he is no way close to gym
I am expecting him to return to the octagon towards May/June of 2024. But the thing is, I think he should take as much rest as he needs out of any fight because it is going to be hard for him to actually be good in the long run. He will also not be able to be very good in the octagon if he is not 100 percent healthy.
I believe he better not be anywhere close to the gym right now. That's for his own good in the long run.
I think it is not a big question if he is a kicker or not. He should be healthy 100 percent before any fight anyway.
