Former champion Glover Teixeira meets Jamahal Hill for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title Saturday in the main event of UFC 283.
2022's Newcomer of the Year for many outlets, Jailton Almeida improved to 4-0 inside the octagon at UFC 283, TKO'ing fellow heavyweight Shamil Abdurakhimov.
Almeida rode his back until Shamil turned over again in response to the referee imploring him to fight back. They stayed in the clinch and Almeida was able to use his lower body to trip the Dagestani and then got on top. He lifted Abdurakhimov up in the air and slammed him down, but Shamil was able to get back up quickly.

The former champion will be able to lap up the crowd acclaim and aim to go out on a high on home soil. He landed a big shot to the temple and poured on the punishment from there. It has been a long wait for Brazilian fans to have a pay-per-view card back but tonight is shaping up nicely with plenty of their countrymen to get behind. That's his second submission in a row and the lightweight is gaining some momentum. This is going to be a fascinating contest but I don't give it much chance of going the distance. Mauricio Shogun Rua is a bonafide UFC legend and makes the walk to the octagon for the final time tonight. Murphy is a veteran of the game and vastly experienced but she is the biggest underdog on the main card. A really short and really tough night at the office for the Scot. The champ has a tight grip but isn't in quite deep enough to secure it and eventually the Mexican pops back up. Moreno could have just about edged the first but it was close and he spends a decent amount of time in top position in the second too. He then lands some nice shots and has the better of the standup exchanges before Figueiredo ends the round attempting a leg lock. It's tricky to predict how this will go but the bookies have Hill as a slight favourite.

MMA: UFC 283 - Craig vs Walker (Photos by Jason da Silva, USA TODAY Sports)
A light heavyweight match-up brimming with the potential for fireworks between Johnny Walker and Paul Craig kicked off the UFC 283 PPV card on Saturday.
I don’t need space, I don’t need anything,” Walker said following the fight. Despite having some ways to go before the possibility of securing a title shot, Walker sets the bar high for himself and has his eyes on the prize: UFC gold. Walker subsequently rained down vicious ground and pound strikes, effectively ending the bout halfway through the first round.
Johnny Walker showed just how much power he possesses with a vicious knockout delivered against Paul Craig to kick off the UFC 283 main card.
It was ultimately a futile effort as Walker just kept throwing punches including a vicious series of hammer fists that finally put Craig away once and for all. As Craig continued to try and hold on for the takedown, Walker just unleased a brutal series of hammer fists that left his opponent unable to defend himself. Instead, Walker snapped off a beautifully timed hook that cracked Craig on the chin, snapping his head around and leaving him stunned.
The vacant light heavyweight title will be on the line in the UFC's first pay-per-view of 2023.

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.
After three fights and over an hour of octagon time spent together, UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo and interim champ Brandon Moreno faced off in ...
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.
Jessica Andrade battered Lauren Murphy across the entirety of their three-round main card fight at Saturday's UFC 283 in Rio, Brazil.
Murphy made it to the final bell out of sheer grit, but Andrade was the clear winner. Back on the feet, Andrade continued to pull away. A late takedown attempt, again, saw Murphy get Andrade to her knees, only to fail to keep the Brazilian there. When they did hit the mat, it was Andrade in control, sprawling and threatening to take the back. The Brazilian started strong on Saturday, forcing Murphy to the outside. A left hand clipped Murphy on the way in, connecting flush with her chin.

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.

Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill cap off UFC 283 on Saturday as they look to claim the vacant light heavyweight title, while flyweights Deiveson Figueiredo ...
The road to this fight had been a roller coaster, with Teixeira initially booked into a rematch with Jiri Prochazka last month. But it was the title fights on Saturday that were the real draw: in the co-main event, Brandon Moreno, holding interim gold, was up against champ Deiveson Figueiredo for an unprecedented fourth time. Among them, former strawweight champ Jessica Andrade was matched up in a flyweight bout with ex-title challenger Lauren Murphy, while Johnny Walker kicked off the Pay-Per-View opposite Paul Craig.
Jamahal Hill beats Glover Teixeira by unanimous decision to win the light-heavyweight title at UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I don't know anybody who would be able to take what I was throwing and keep going. I had to fight for everything just to be here, to get this. But Hill looked at home throughout the five rounds against his vastly experienced opponent. Moreno spent a significant part of the fight controlling it on the ground, ending all three rounds in the dominant top position, and was up on the scorecards when the doctor called off the fight. The defeat is Craig's second in a row following a six-fight unbeaten streak, while Walker's victory will secure him a spot in the top 10 of the UFC light-heavyweight rankings. The pair drew when they first clashed for the title in 2020, before Moreno won in 2021 to become the UFC's first ever Mexican champion. "[Teixeira] is tough as bricks. Hill was the far busier, throwing a record-breaking number of strikes in a UFC light-heavyweight bout, with his left high kick causing Teixeira problems throughout. Some were surprised at the pairing, with Hill seventh to Teixeira's second in the UFC light-heavyweight rankings. [but it ended in a draw,](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/mixed-martial-arts/63932933) which led to the bout between Hill and Teixeira being set up. Swelling caused the eye to shut, leading the doctor to call off the fight at the end of the third round. Jamahal Hill beat home favourite Glover Teixeira by unanimous decision to win the light-heavyweight title at UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

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.
The UFC handed out four post-fight bonuses after Saturday's card, including one to a Brazilian former champion who called it a career.
Moreno concluded a historic quadrilogy by forcing the doctor to stop the fight because of a nasty cut on the eye.
I was trying to put a lot of pressure on him this time." "But the people need to understand that I was just trying to get food for my family. 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. Figueiredo fought the remainder of the round off his back with an eye that was swollen shut and terribly cut underneath. Moreno immediately had Figueiredo thinking, mixing up takedown attempts and a variety of strikes.
Brandon Moreno unified the flyweight division with a brilliant performance against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 283 on Saturday night.'The Baby Assass.
During his post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier, Figueiredo revealed he will move up to bantamweight and expressed his belief that he was on the receiving end of an eye poke, but the replays showed it was a clean strike that caused the damage. However, the referee refused to step in, and he was beaten up for the rest of round three before going back to his corner and being pulled out of the fight by the doctor because his eye was swollen shut. The usually tough Figueiredo reacted strangely to the punch as he ran away from his opponent and appeared to call for the fight to be temporarily stopped.
According to the numbers, Jamahal Hill delivered a record-setting beatdown of Glover Teixeira to claim gold at UFC 283.

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.
