Following a split decision draw between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 282, the UFC once again will try to crown a light heavyweight champion. Former champion Glover Teixeira faces Jamahal Hill at UFC 283 on January 21.
The fight takes place inside Brazil’s Jeunesse Arena. Champion Jiri Prochazka vacated the title in November due to injury, and the UFC has attempted to fill that void ever since.
Hill turned pro in 2017. A Dana White's Contender Series alum, Hill started with the UFC in 2019. He is on a three-fight win streak. Hill's last fight was a TKO win against Thiago Santos in August. “Sweet Dreams” was preparing to face Anthony Smith in March until Dana White revealed he was fighting for a title.
His first time fighting for UFC gold, Hill is looking past all detractors who are looking to discredit the fight since Prochazka didn’t fight to lose the belt.

“Why wouldn’t I feel like I’m the true champion?” Hill told MMA Junkie. “Right now, the man who won that belt, the level that he was at to win that belt, he can’t be at that level right now. So to sit there and be like, ‘He’s the true champion’ – he’s not at that level right now. He’s hurt. Let him heal, let him regain that level, then we’ll test that level. But as of right now he made a decision to take himself out and allow a new champion to be crowned. If I’m that new champion, why the f--- wouldn’t I feel like the champion?”
Teixeira made his pro debut in 2002. The Brazilian won the UFC light heavyweight title in 2021 against Jan Blachowicz but lost it in June 2022 against Jiri Prochazka.
