Jamahal Hill, Corey Anderson trade barbs on best light heavyweight: ‘My resume will always read champion’

Jamahal Hill and Corey Anderson sparked a debate on which promotion has the best light heavyweight.

UFC light heavyweight champion Hill took exception to Anderson’s claim that Bellator 205-pound champ Vadim Nemkov could be UFC champion, and that the top three in the division are himself, Nemkov, and Magomed Ankalev.

Hill responded to Anderson (17-6 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) in a video on his YouTube channel, prompting Anderson to fire back.

Anderson, a former UFC light heavyweight, holds notable wins over former champs Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira. In his most recent appearance this past Friday, Anderson defeated ex-UFC fighter Phil Davis at Bellator 297.

Hill claimed the vacant light heavyweight belt by battering Teixeira for five rounds at UFC 283 in January.
