Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) announced on Friday that he will be giving up the 205-pound belt after he sustained ruptured Achilles that will require surgery. As as result, the title becomes vacant. “Everyone knows that I’ve been waiting for months now to face Jiri Prochazka and defend my belt and my title – unfortunately we’re going to have to wait a little bit,” Hill said on his YouTube channel
