Hill details Pereira incident
“I was at the PI earlier, Alex was there. I just finished working out, he was working out, and I went to go up and have a conversation. Ask him what we on? We don’t have to talk across Twitter because I’m right here,” Hill said. “Initially when I went up to him, it was smooth. ‘Don’t run to heavyweight and I’m going to go ahead and handle business, and we need to run it back!’. And in the exchange, he said something to his translator, and his translator said ‘He said you’re still sleeping, woke up and s***!’. I’m wide awake now! You can get put to sleep for real!
“Then it kind of went to a fake a** ‘Yeah, come get the gloves and go in the cage’. What the f*** we need gloves for? We’re not getting paid right now. I get paid to put on gloves and fight. When I’m out in a situation like that, we could throw hands right now! I’m not ‘finna wait, take time, put no gloves on or none of that s***. We can throw hands right now! And his response was just to stand there. So f*** it, we’ll get paid. I’m not going to ruin my bread because here’s the thing right? If I just reached over and hit him right there, I possibly lose out on my next fight, and any opportunities I have left. Restrictions now at the PI and all these other things… we made a lot of money the first time we fought, so why wouldn’t I make a lot of money when I knock his a** out the next time?”
