MMA Fighting has the Teixeira vs. Hill fight card results from UFC 283, live blogs of all major card fights, and details of Saturday’s UFC event at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the main event, former UFC Champion Grover Teixeira will face Jamahal Hill for the vacant Light Heavyweight Championship. UFC flyweight champion Dibson Figueiredo faced UFC interim flyweight champion Brandon Moreno to win the undisputed flyweight title. This is the fourth time the two players have faced each other, with a record of 1 win and 1 loss. Fans who had hoped to end the qualifying rounds of legendary Mauricio “Shogun” Rua on a high note were heartbroken when he ended his career with his first-round TKO loss to Ihor his Pottieria. I was. However, the fans in attendance had their spirits lifted by the first three fights on the main card as Brazilian fighters Johnny Walker, Jessica Andrade and Gilbert Burns scored dominant victories.
Unfortunately for the Brazilian fans, the event ended on a down note as both Deiveson Figueiredo and Glover Teixeira left the arena without UFC gold. Still, UFC 283 featured impressive promotional debuts from young Brazilian fighters Ismael and Gabriel Bonfim, who scored first-round stoppage victories.

As for non-Brazilian competitors, Jamahal Hill and Brandon Moreno scored monumental wins as Hill captured the UFC light heavyweight crown and Moreno regained the promotion’s flyweight title. The UFC light heavyweight division has a new champion in Jamahal Hill. The 31-year-old, who made his UFC debut off the Dana White Contender Series in 2020, showed some new wrinkles to his game while putting a beating on the former light heavyweight kingpin, Glover Teixeira. Hill’s takedown defense was a staggering 89% that game. He managed range effectively, especially on the jab. His performance was amazing for a light heavyweight, with 402 critical hits and 232 landing attempts. His defense was on point, especially as Teixeira got tired and slowed down his punches. But the most impressive aspect of Hill’s game, which won him the UFC title at 205 pounds, was his kicks to both the body and head of his opponents.
