Hill has interesting remarks regarding Rountree Jr
“I’m just getting back to myself,” Hill told MMA Junkie on Monday. “I’ve grown a lot of sour taste to my name since the injuries, but I still dealt with bad injuries. For more people, an Achilles injury in most sports, that’s a career-killer.
“A lot of people never come back, and they’re never the same. I wanted to push my way back to where that thought won’t even creep into my mind. Was it the best move for me? Maybe. Maybe not.
“It’s my story, and my story is written and I’m writing it as we speak. I just want to being me and feeling the way I feel in there, because I know if I get back to where I was feeling before these injuries, I’m the best in the world.”
