During a recent interview with CBS Sports, Hill explained the hardships he went through ahead of his title win.
“My aunt who I just lost was one of the closest people in the world to me,” Hill said. “That’s one of the things I’ve been dealing with since I got home. My auntie Nat was an O.G., man.
“She believed in me. She allowed me to be who I am at all times. She instilled in me and demanded that I be myself and be unapologetic about being myself. She loved me and accepted me all the way for that.”
Hill didn’t elaborate on what led to his aunt’s death and the circumstances surrounding it.
After the victory over Teixeira, Hill has surged into the UFC’s pound-for-pound rankings. He’s feeling the love from MMA fans in and out of the Octagon, after this recent tragedy and his title win.
Hill has plenty of challenges in front of him in the light heavyweight division, including a potential showdown against Ji?í Procházka. But in the meantime, he and his family are dealing with the highs and lows of the past few days.
