Bellator light heavyweight champion Corey Anderson has long asserted that he’s the best 205-pounder in the business. Predictably, this attitude draws the ire of other elite light heavyweights, including UFC light heavyweight champ Jamahal “Sweet Dreams” Hill. When Hill took to YouTube to diss Anderson, the Bellator champ told MMAFighting that he simply laughed it off.
“Old sweet booty. All that talk he’s doing ‘show my resume.’ Yeah, against who? Somebody messaged me like how’s that beef? It ain’t no beef. That’s spam. That’s the one meat nobody wants to eat.
Bellator’s Corey Anderson LAUGHS At Jamahal Hill’s UFC Resume: “What Has He Done?”
He can say whatever he wants, it doesn’t faze me. He won the belt off somebody I dominated on two weeks’ notice and then they rejected me a title fight after but yet they give him the belt off it. You can’t even hold a candle to what I’ve done.
Yes, you’re the champ but who’s in the division? You didn’t fight Magomed Ankalaev, who I think is the best. You didn’t fight Jiri Prochazka.
You beat Glover Teixeira, who is 44, who even after he lost said he retired because he ain’t got it no more. He just told you. He don’t have it no more and you went to a decision with him. Other than that, you haven’t beat anybody credible, anybody who’s done anything.”
UFC fighters routinely dismiss Corey Anderson, claiming that he’s not up against the best of the best under the Bellator banner. Anderson’s riposte is that Jamahal Hill’s record isn’t exactly stellar, either.
“Everybody’s laughing, talking ‘he’s the champ, he’s the champ.’ Who has he beat?
You look at his resume it’s going to say UFC champ but what name is going to be underneath there? None. So why am I even going to beef and stress over it? I’m laughing. I’m in the car with my wife tweeting and laughing like dude, you’re really trying to hold this argument right now?
Everybody’s going to say he’s the best because he’s in the UFC and I’m in Bellator. Say what you want. You put us in the cage, I’m going to dust you off, playboy. You ain’t got nothing. You don’t have anything for me. It’s no reason to even keep going back and forth.”
Anderson also pointed out Hill’s sole UFC loss, a TKO suffered against Paul Craig. “He said he had one lost due to injury. That right there shows your mindset.
It was no injury. Somebody snapped your arm. That’s not an injury. That’s called you got submitted. That right there shows you don’t even know what you’re talking about.
It’s not even beef. If I see him, I’d just laugh and keep walking past him. He might say something to me but I ain’t going to fret.”
