Video: How should UFC handle Jamahal Hill’s unexpected relinquishing of light heavyweight title?

UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill ruptured his Achilles tendon this past week, leading to him relinquishing the belt.

With a lengthy rehab in front of him, Hill opted to vacate the title and said he did so because he didn’t want to hold up the division in the same way former champ Jiri Prochazka vacated after he was injured last year.

Was this the right? Or should the UFC have done an interim title? And how does the promotion handle the situation as it stands?

Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of special guest Eric Nicksick of Xtreme Couture, Mike Bohn and Brian “Goze” Garcia answers those questions with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.

You can watch the segment in the video above, as well as this week’s full episode below.
