At UFC 323 this past Saturday, a wild altercation broke out between former UFC champions, Jamahal Hill and Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

This past Saturday, the premier promotion returned to Las Vegas for their final PPV of the year and the final PPV of the UFC’s partnership with ESPN with UFC 323.

In the main event, Petr Yan shockingly dethroned Merab Dvalishvili in their bantamweight title fight, bringing Merab’s long reign as champion to an end.

However, it was action outside of the cage that has seemingly stolen the headlines, after former UFC champions Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jamahal Hill clashed in an altercation backstage.

Hill breaks his silence on UFC 323 altercation with Jedrzejczyk

Even at this point, it is relatively unclear what sparked the altercation, and even though rumors surfaced that Jedrzejczyk got into it with Hill’s partner, they are believed to be false.

But now just a few days removed from the situation and with Jedrzejczyk having issued a statement after being threatened to be knocked out by Hill, ‘Sweetdreams’ has now broken his silence with his side of the story.

“My girl was not even there, my girl was not at the fights at UFC 323,” Hill revealed in a video on his YouTube channel.

According to Hill, Jedrzejczyk ‘flipped’ and began verbally laying into him, as he stood and attempted to understand why she was angry with him.

“Now she’s threatening me, then she says, ‘I should’ve smashed your girls head in, go over and f—— smashed your head in too, I don’t give a f—.’ Now I’m like, she’s threatened me and she’s threatened my girl, I’ve not threatened her, I have not raised my voice at her… She said, ‘You’re talking s—‘.

“This stems from, we were at an event, me, my girl, Joanna, her manager, we were all seated at the same table, everybody is getting along, everybody is chopping it up, there’s absolutely no problems at all.

“Joanna’s manager is playing this little game, I’m being straight up honest, a couple of years ago in New York when the whole bus incident happened… I was feeling myself and shot my shot, I tried to smash. Her manager this entire time we’re at this event, her manager is trying to drop messages to my girl, trying to dry snitch. My girl already knew this,” he continued.

The former champion went on to explain how he still isn’t aware of why Jedrzejczyk ‘flipped out’ on him, also providing messages between the two from the past.
