Out of UFC 303
Hill will not fight Carlos Ulberg at UFC 303 because of a knee injury, according to UFC President Dana White.
ANALYSIS
Instead of Hill, Anthony Smith will fight Ulberg at UFC 303. As for the ex-UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, it is unclear when he gets cleared from his current injury. What has been clear is his lack of luck since winning gold back in January 2023. He vacated the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship because of an Achilles rupture, suffered a first-round knockout during his return and now this.

Co-main eventing UFC 303
Hill will take on Carlos Ulberg in a light heavyweight bout at UFC 303 in Las Vegas on June 30, per Christopher Reive of the New Zealand Herald.
ANALYSIS
Hill will head into the fight against Ulberg coming off a first-round knockout loss to Alex Pereira in April. The six-foot-four American will hope to get back to his winning ways against the rising Ulberg, as the Kiwi will ride a six-fight win streak into the event. Hill will hope to use a slight reach advantage to his benefit in the fight, though Ulberg has the knockout power to stop the former champion in his tracks.

Needs new opponent
Hill is in need of a new opponent for UFC 303 on June 29 after Khalil Rountree announced via his personal Instagram account that he would be withdrawing after consuming a banned substance.
ANALYSIS
While it sounds like Rountree's consumption of a banned substance was fully accidental, it will result in the UFC needing to find a new opponent for Hill. The former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion currently sits at No. 3 in the 205-pound rankings after falling short against current champion Alex Pereiera via first-round KO in April.

Quick turnaround scheduled
Hill is scheduled to compete against Khalil Rountree in a light heavyweight fight at UFC 303 in Paradise on June 29, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
It is rare for a former UFC champion to fight quickly after a knockout championship loss, but that is exactly what Hill is doing. Serving as part of the co-main to a long-awaited fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, Hill will look to step up in what is expected to be another highly publicized card. Defeating Rountree will keep Hill in the running for Alex Pereira, the current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.

Quickly finished in title fight
Hill came up short in his quest to regain the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship on Saturday, falling to Alex Pereira via KO (punches) at 3:14 of Round 1 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Looking back on it, Hill was in a near-impossible situation here. He was coming off a significant injury in a ruptured Achilles, accepted this bout on relatively short notice and was facing a stone-cold killer. The two men fought on even terms early on before Hill got clipped with a shot that didn't appear to land with all that much authority, but that's the power Pereira has. Jamahal crumbled to the mat and was finished after a handful of follow-up shots. Set to turn 33 years of age, Hill entered having won four in a row. This is his first loss since June 2021. He should remain in the title conversation in a thin light heavyweight division for the foreseeable future.
