UFC 267 live: fight date, start time, betting odds, PPV price & location for Blachowicz vs. Teixeira, Islam Makhachev's return image

UFC 267 features two title fights and a thrilling lightweight contest, when the company heads back to Fight Island (Etihad Arena) in Abu Dhabi.

Jan Blachowicz will defend his light-heavyweight belt against MMA legend Glover Teixeira on October 31. This is Blachowicz's second defence after beating middleweight king Israel Adesanya in a champ vs. champ clash at UFC 259. 

His opponent Teixeira is on a five-fight winning streak and has plenty of momentum heading into the championship bout. 

At 38-years old, after being in the organisation since 2014, Blachowicz would finally become a world champion. Similarly, Teixeira has found another gear at 41 years old, with his recent winning streak proving that you can peak late in the sport. 

The co-main event has no title holder, as bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling is out with a neck injury. 

Sterling was due to face Petr Yan in a rematch of their UFC 259 fight which ended in a controversial  DQ win for Sterling following an illegal knee .

Cory Sandhagen has stepped up following the injury to Sterling and will face Yan for the interim 135-pounds belt.

Petr Yan

Sandhagen, 29, is coming off a split decision loss against former UFC champion TJ Dillashaw in July, though many fans and experts felt the result should have gone the other way.

An untimely knee injury to Dillashaw ruled him out a fight with Yan, seeing Sandhagen given the opportunity.

Number five ranked lightweight Islam Makhachev also features on the stacked card.

The 29-year-old was due to face former champ Rafeal Dos Anjos, but the Brazillan withdrew due to injury.

Fan favourite Dan Hooker got the call to be the replacement at UFC 267. The New Zealander is a big underdog in the fight, however Hooker does not agree with this narrative. 

"I don't buy it. He puts his pants on like I put my pants on. He ain't superman. I'm very confident," Hooker said in his interview at UFC media day .

Below is a full rundown of the results for UFC 267, with details on the fight matchups, start times, odds and more information about the title fights. 

TEXEIRA BEATS BLACHOWICZ FOR LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT CROWN

The UFC has a 42-year-old light heavyweight champion.

Glover Teixeira shocked the MMA world with a second-round submission of Jan Blachowicz in the main event of UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi. 

Teixeira became the second-oldest champion in UFC history with a stunning performance that was grapple-heavy and neutralized Blachowicz's lauded striking from the outset. 

After an opening round that saw him plant Blachowicz on his back for four minutes and work his opponent over with grappling, the Brazilian knew where the fight needed to stay.

A few tense moments of striking eventually led to Teixeira putting the Polish fighter on the canvas. It didn't take long for Glover to get Blachowicz's back, put in the hooks, flatten his opponent out and sink in a rear-naked choke that caused the submission.
