Former champion Glover Teixeira meets Jamahal Hill for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title Saturday in the main event of UFC 283.

Jailton Almeida kept his 100% finish rate in tact and added more hype to his name with a dominant win at UFC 283 in Brazil.

He picked up where he left off in Round 2, getting on top of his opponent and landing a prolonged streak of ground-and-pound until the referee waved it off by TKO. Almeida (18-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) had his way with Abdurakhimov (20-8 MMA, 5-6 UFC) from the outset, scoring early takedowns and establishing top control through the first round of the heavyweight bout at Jeunesse Arena. [Jailton Almeida](https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/tag/jailton-almeida) delivered another dominant performance at [UFC 283](https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/events/ufc-283), this time against his most experienced opponent to date in [Shamil Abdurakhimov](https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/tag/shamil-abdurakhimov).

Murphy tries to grab her by the cage, but Andrade defends herself and puts Murphy down to the floor. He now takes down Magny and suffocates him down in the corner. A rematch against the latter was supposed to happen at UFC 282 before Prochazka’s injury. The UFC light heavyweight title is currently vacant. In front of friends and family, the ageless Glover Teixeira will look to become a two-time UFC light-heavyweight champion at UFC 283 on January 21.

The vacant light heavyweight title will be on the line in the UFC's first pay-per-view of 2023.

Hill is in side control but now Teixeira gets back to the mount. Head kick grazes Teixeira and now Hill detonates a knee onto the veteran. But Teixeira comes right back and rocks Hill with some thunder. He crumbles to the mat and Hill is raining down with hammerfists. Hill sneaks out of it and scores a takedown himself.

After taking a closer look prior to the start of the third, the doctor waved off the fight. But with Moreno closing out the frame on top, it was a bad look for the Brazilian champ. Trailing that punch, which appeared to hurt Figueiredo, was a scrape to the eye that brought immediate protest from the champ. At round’s end, Moreno complained to the officials that Figueiredo had landed an illegal kick while they were on the mat. They went to the ground before the buzzer, with Figueiredo locking up a heel hook, but Moreno escaped the round. Figueiredo did trail a combo with a heavy leg kick approaching the final minute of the round.

Heavy left for Moreno, Figgy with a body shot and eats a couple hooks. 1-2 from Moreno. Left hook from Moreno. Low kick from Moreno.

Moreno was awarded a third-round doctor stoppage TKO and promoted to undisputed champion. "I was trying to be very, very smart and put a lot of my gameplan into this fight.

Jailton Almeida kept his 100% finish rate in tact and added more hype to his name with a dominant win at UFC 283 in Brazil.

Jamahal Hill broke through as a UFC champion with a decisive unanimous decision victory over Glover Teixeira in the main event of UFC 283 from Rio de ...

Johnny Walker is one of the most unpredictable fighters in the UFC. 🤯 @JOHNNYWALKER JUST TORE THE ROOF OFF OF @JEUNESSEARENA!!! Jessica Andrade pushed the limits of just how one-sided a decision victory can be against Lauren Murphy. Coming off a loss to Khamzat Chimaev, it was important for him to re-establish himself as one of the top fighters in the welterweight division. He easily took Magny to the ground and immediately worked on sinking in a choke. This certainly accomplishes that goal and will likely lead to at least one more big fight for the 36-year-old. Moreno now moves forward as the champion and is free to step away from the rivalry. Figueiredo contested the second strike as an eye poke in the aftermath of the combination. The four-fight series between Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo finally reached a conclusion in the co-main event—for now. Moreno landed a looping left hook that landed perfectly in Figueiredo's eye and followed it up with an open-hand strike. Just like the previous three fights between these two flyweights, the action was tight and frenetic leading up to the finish. He continuously found a home for high kicks and boxing combinations as he battered the former champion.

Brandon Moreno is once again the undisputed flyweight champion after doctors would not allow Deiveson Figueiredo to continue after the third round at UFC ...

The fight was stopped and while it obviously wasn’t the result Figueiredo wanted, he accepted the defeat while also announcing his exit from the flyweight division. With so many even exchanges on the feet, Moreno was looking for an ideal opening and that’s when he threw a huge left hand that caught Figueiredo directly in the eye. From there, Moreno took over with a dominant ground and pound attack until the horn sounded to end the round. While Moreno was showcasing his wrestling, he was actually landing the better combinations on the feet with a significant advantage in strikes landed. With so much time spent in the cage together, Figueiredo and Moreno were both showing patience while setting up strikes on the feet. The fight ended after Moreno landed a nasty punch midway through the third round, which left Figueiredo with significant swelling and a cut near his eye.

The promotion's return to Brazil provided some much-needed answers to the flyweight and light heavyweight divisions.

After brawling for three rounds against Khamzat Chimaev in his last outing in a disputed decision defeat, Burns turned his focus back to his strength of grappling and boldly announced after the win that there isn't another welterweight alive he couldn't do the same against. Figueiredo announced he's officially moving up to bantamweight in the post-fight interview allowing Moreno a second chance to build a sustained title reign. There was a moment after Round 4, as the cageside doctor examined his badly damaged face, that Teixeira's corner would've been justified in throwing in the towel simply to prevent Teixeira from compromising his own eventual retirement. A noted knockout artist who entered Saturday on a three-fight finishing streak, Hill landed the kind of head kicks and powerful right hands that would've finished 99% of the planet, yet Teixeira never stopped pressuring forward in a performance as inspirational as it was insane. But the extra miles inside the cage that Hill was forced to go by the former champion Teixeira and his otherworldly level of toughness went a long way in making Hill feel very much the legitimate champion when all was said and done. Even as Teixeira rallied to take Hill down in Round 5, sliding into full mount for a brief time, Hill never crumbled and broke down emotionally after the final horn once it became clear his dreams had come true, even if many had so vocally counted him out.

The UFC handed out four post-fight bonuses after Saturday's card, including one to a Brazilian former champion who called it a career.

The UFC should at least attempt to book a retiring veteran against a veteran peer in their final fight with the promotion. However, if the UFC wants anyone to take its Hall of Fame seriously, it needs to update its website because, as I write this, the fighters who joined the promotion’s Hall of Fame in 2022 are not on the UFC Hall of Fame website. Daniel Cormier: If Daniel Cormier is on the call for a UFC event, there’s a good chance he will get the scoring criteria wrong. He upped his pace, mixed up his techniques and showed good finishing instincts in picking up the knockout that moved his overall record to 13-0. Josiane Nunes: Josiane Nunes moved to 3-0 in the UFC women’s featherweight division with a decision win over Zarah Fairn. Dalby, who went 1-3-1 in his first stint with the UFC in 2015-16. If the UFC matchmakers were listening, Burns had a suggestion as to who his adversary should be in that next matchup — the No. Nicolas Dalby: Nicolas Dalby, the former Cage Warriors welterweight champion, picked up his first winning streak in the UFC with a win over Warlley Alves at UFC 283. With UFC 283, the UFC returned to Brazil for the first time in nearly two years. Jamahal Hill: The UFC light heavyweight division has a new champion in Jamahal Hill. The event, which took place at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, was the first UFC card in Brazil where a crowd was in attendance since UFC 237 in May 2019.

Brandon Moreno has a line of contenders in front of him, including one who approached him backstage moments after his UFC 283 win.

“I think right now, he’s very excited and he’s a little bit desperate to get the fight for the title. “I think with Pantoja, we’ll be friends,” Moreno said. “I think for sure Pantoja should fight next for the title. Despite their history and somewhat uncomfortable backstage interaction, Moreno said he doesn’t expect the build with Pantoja to get unprofessional or ugly. I think those three guys are the next ones. Pantoja was asking the wrong guy.

Brandon Moreno says a backstage interaction with Alexandre Pantoja went from friendly to confrontational in a hurry after he became the undisputed flyweight ...

“So I think this is the year for the Mexicans in mixed martial arts. For sure, I want to go there.” “He came [at] me and he was very friendly with me, to be honest,” Moreno revealed at the UFC 283 post-fight press conference. “Because with all this rivalry with Deiveson Figueiredo, we started in 2020 and we finished in 2023. Then he started to look a little bit aggressive to be honest but my only point was let me enjoy it today. With a three-fight win streak and two previous victories over Moreno — including one that took place as an exhibition bout on The Ultimate Fighter — Pantoja was obviously bubbling over with excitement that he will likely be next in line for a title shot.

After Deiveson Figueiredo can't open his right eye, the fight is called and Brandon Moreno wins the UFC flyweight championship. There's no controversy here.

WHEN have I teared up in a UFC fight? Watching Glover Teixiera getting beaten up by Jamahal Hill in UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro was painful to watch.

But as for tearing up—that came when Glover placed his gloves in the middle of the ring to end his fight career. You want a lack of class—how about the fans who booed and pelted Moreno after he defeated Figueiredo? The emotion he displayed was overwhelming as well. As a fan of Teixeira who I had the honor of interviewing twice now and having my picture taken with this all-time mixed martial arts great, it was tough to watch. Yes, but give the kid a pass. Watching Glover Teixiera getting beaten up by Jamahal Hill in UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro was painful to watch.

According to the numbers, Jamahal Hill delivered a record-setting beatdown of Glover Teixeira to claim gold at UFC 283.

Deiveson Figueiredo fractured his nose during his fourth clash with Brandon Moreno at UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro.

Figueiredo went 9-1 at flyweight prior to his four bouts with Moreno. His concern came from what ultimately served as the punch that preceded the end of the fight after Moreno connected with a stiff punch that landed near Figueiredo’s eye. Multiple replays showed it was a clean shot that connected and Figueiredo was soon dealing with a cut and significant swelling around his eye, which forced the ringside physician to stop the fight after the third round.

Brandon Moreno might be done with Deiveson Figueiredo, but his first title defense after UFC 283 should come vs. another familiar foe.

Lauren Murphy released a post-fight statement in the wake of her loss to Jessica Andrade at UFC 283 and says that despite the damage she endured, ...

“I’ll be back sometime, but for now I’m just going to lick my wounds and rest a bit.” My head and nose will heal with rest, and my heart will heal with time.” “Thankfully I’m all good, nose is a little busted up and my head needs rest, but I’ll be fine in a few days. Jessica is an insanely tough opponent and I will learn a lot from her. According to [UFC statistics](https://twitter.com/MJCflipdascript/status/1617015944697778176), Andrade connected with 231 significant strikes, which is a new single fight flyweight record. Sometimes s*** goes down and you just got to learn from it and get better.
