Megan Ollevi was doing a post-fight interview with light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker following UFC Charlotte this past weekend on ABC and mistakenly referred to current 205-pound champion Jamaal Hill as the “interim” champion.
Olivi immediately corrected herself and continued her question.
Hill was quick to respond on Twitter.
Temporary hero? Megan Olivi, this is how you feel? “
“I immediately corrected myself!” Olivi wrote back. “I am so sorry, you know I have nothing but respect for you!”
It didn’t seem like a very big deal when it happened.
Unfortunately, UFC fans can be terrible at times and have since flooded social media with trashy insults directed towards Olivi. That prompted Sweet Dreams to come to her defense, and not surprisingly, the same sneaky cadre then turned on Hill.
Hill subsequently deleted his original tweet.
“You guys are getting cold feet about Megan Olivi,” Hill later wrote. “I was on a plane and didn’t listen close enough to the clip!!! She got it wrong and immediately corrected herself!! It was always nothing but love and respect between us!!!”

Hill became a light heavyweight champion by knocking out Glover Teixeira at UFC 283, taking over the belt that was vacated by Jiri Prochazka when “Denisa” blew his shoulder in late 2022. “Sweet Dreams” is expected to defend against Prochazka sometime later in the year. this year.
