"I got a call Friday, right? Friday said, 'Hey, I need to talk to you. This is the situation,'" Hill said. "The situation was 'We want you and Alex to headline UFC 300' alright. They offered me a bag too, you know. We know you're recovering from this. We have this option, this option, and this option. We prefer you guys to lead with a title fight. So, their other options were not title fights. They were some big name fights they had ready to go. They did have other fights. But, this is the fight they decided to go with."
