Alex Pereira has some fatherly advice for Jamahal Hill.

Ahead of a pivotal light heavyweight matchup at UFC 311 on Jan. 18, Hill and Jiri Prochazka have ramped up their war of words, with Prochazka saying that Hill showed “nothing” when he lost to Pereira at UFC 300, and Hill firing back that he showed more in his defeat at Pereira’s hands than Prochazka has in two losses against “Poatan.”

Now, the 205-pound champion has chimed in himself, telling Hill not to look past his clash with Pereira.

“Calm down, my son,” Pereira wrote on Twitter. “Pass this test and Dad will give you a second chance.”

While it’s possible that Pereira was also addressing Prochazka, it’s Hill that was quick to take offense as he issued his own response via social media.

“Beat it,” Hill wrote. “Funny how you rushed lil’ ass [Khalil Rountree] and dumbass Jiri like you were the man, but waited until the refs got in the way to swing at me. You will see me again at 100 percent soon and we both know the fear that was in your heart.”

Hill’s tweet refers to a pivotal moment in his fight with Pereira, where referee Herb Dean moved in to pause the action when it appeared that a Hill kick glanced Pereira’s cup. Pereira waved Dean off and shortly after finished the fight with a knockout punch.

In the aftermath, Hill has maintained that Pereira used the pause in action to sneakily close the distance. He continued to complain about the seven-month-old result in his replies, which can be seen below.
