Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill hoped to compete at UFC 303 on June 29 in Las Vegas, but his planned co-main event bout against Carlos Ulberg fell through.
Hill (12-2) was forced to withdraw from the bout with Ulberg (9-1) due to multiple injuries. He hoped to return from his UFC 300 loss to Alex Pereira quickly, but multiple knee injuries set him back.
According to a post on Instagram, Hill suffered two meniscus tears, a sprained ACL, and a Baker Cyst that "leaked fluid in the back of my knee."

The 33-year-old previously suffered a ruptured Achilles after winning the UFC title and was forced to vacate the belt.
