The UFC light heavyweight division finally has a champion.
After a split draw at UFC 282 left the belt vacant, Jamahal Hill seized opportunity with a short-notice win over Glover Teixeira in the way no one expected: by decision.
Hill outwrestled Teixeira en route to a unanimous decision for the UFC light heavyweight belt. Then Teixeira put his gloves on the canvas and called it a career.
Here’s what fighters had to say about the UFC 283 main card featuring Glover Teixeira vs. Jamahal Hill and Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno 4.
