Jamahal Hill admits elbow dislocation against Paul Craig was karma for "disrespecting the game"

Adam D Martin - September 10, 2021

UFC light heavyweight contender Jamahal Hill admitted his elbow dislocation against Paul Craig was karma for “disrespecting the game.” Hill suffered one of the most gruesome injuries in MMA this year when he had his arm twisted by Craig during their light heavyweight bout back at UFC 263 in June. While it appeared as though Hill had broken his arm at first, he was thankfully able to walk away with only his elbow being dislocated. Because it wasn’t a fracture, the doctors were able to fix the dislocated elbow, and now Hill returns in December when he takes on Jimmy Crute.
