The first numbered UFC event of 2023 proved to be a good one. Two new champions were crowned Saturday at UFC 283 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.

The main event of the organization’s return to Brazil after nearly three years saw [autotag]Jamahal Hill[/autotag] (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) deliver a lopsided beatdown of [autotag]Glover Teixeira[/autotag] (33-9 MMA, 16-7 UFC) to win a unanimous decision and claim the vacant light heavyweight champion.

In the co-headliner, [autotag]Brandon Moreno[/autotag] (21-5-2 MMA, 9-2-2 UFC) proved to be the better man to [autotag]Deiveson Figueiredo[/autotag] (21-3-1 MMA, 10-3-1 UFC) when he produced a sensational showing for the third-round doctor’s stoppage TKO to become undisputed flyweight champ and win their rivalry 2-1-1.

UFC 283 results: Jamahal Hill wins gutsy battle for vacant title, retires Glover Teixeira

The UFC 283 main event resulted in one fighter reaching the pinnacle of the sport, while another rode off into the sunset.

RIO DE JANEIRO – The UFC 283 main event resulted in one fighter reaching the pinnacle of the sport, while another rode off into the sunset.

[autotag]Jamahal Hill[/autotag](12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) defeated [autotag]Glover Teixeira[/autotag] (33-9 MMA, 16-7 UFC) to win the UFC light heavyweight title via unanimous decision (50-44, 50-44, 50-44). The vacant light heavyweight title bout was the UFC 283 main event at Jeunesse Arena.

Many pundits wondered how Hill would do when faced with the grappling challenges of Teixeira. The tone was set early when Hill shut down numerous takedown attempts by Teixeira. The first round was largely contested at distance with an occasional (failed) Teixeira attempt to drag it down.

In Round 2, the pace picked up as defense largely went by the wayside. In a round that wouldn’t have looked out of place if aligned with his five thrilling rounds against Jiri Prochazka in June, Teixeira found himself in trouble due to a Hill head kick.

Hill sensed Texeira’s instability and pounced with dozens of punches. Teixeira kept Hill at bay, but absorbed some damage in the process. Somehow, someway, Teixeira got Hill down and landed ground-and-pound before the round ended.

In Round 3, Hill turned up the volume. He battered Teixeira with a barrage of punches as the bout appeared to be close to a stoppage at multiple points. Hill went back to the head kick again and found success but Teixeira hung tough.

Into the championship rounds, Teixeira was mangled with nasty cuts over both eyes. He absorbed more and more strikes as the round progressed – so many strikes, in fact, that there was debate in the corner about throwing in the towel.

Ultimately, the corners and physicians decided to let the fight go on, to which Teixeira exclaimed, “Let’s go, baby. F*cking A.”

Teixeira came out aggressive, straight at Hill. In the opening minute, he took Hill down and ended up in mount. Hill scrambled and ended up on top – a crucial reversal. With one minute left, Texeira escaped to his feet. As the clock ticked, Hill avoided unnecessary exchanges en route to the final bell.

Moments after the title was wrapped around an emotional Hill’s waist, Teixeira took off his gloves and placed them in the center of the cage – as he announced his retirement.

“I’m too tough for my own good,” Teixeira said. “I’m too tough for my own health,” as he explained why he’d prefer to turn his attention to coaching at this point in his life.

UFC 283: Glover Teixeira vs. Jamahal Hill odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC 283 odds and lines between Glover Teixeira vs. Jamahal Hill, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a light heavyweight championship bout in the main event, Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill meet Saturday at UFC 283 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the UFC 283: Teixeira vs. Hill odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.

The early prelims can be viewed on ESPN+ beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET, with the prelims on ABC/ESPN/ESPN+ at 8 p.m. and the main card beginning on Pay-Per-View at 10 p.m.

Teixeira lost his belt against Jiri Prochazka last time out at UFC 275 in June. He was submitted in Round 5 and has ended up with 4 straight stoppages, winning 2 by submission and 1 by a KO/TKO.

The Brazilian has gone the distance just once in the past 7 fights — a split-decision win over Nikita Krylov in Sept. 2019.

Hill is on the rise rather quickly, picking up 3 consecutive KO/TKO wins. That includes a 4th-round win over Thiago Santos last time out in early August. Each of his past 5 fights has resulted in KO/TKO, with 4 victories during that span.

Hill has a 3-inch reach advantage and a 2-inch height advantage, and the southpaw holds a 6.46-to-3.80 significant strikes landed per minute advantage over the veteran. Teixeira will want to get the fight to the mat, where he is more potent, but Hill will want to keep the bout upright to use his tremendous punching power.

UFC 283: Teixeira vs. Hill picks and predictions

Records: Teixeira (33-8-0) | Hill (11-1-0)

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

HILL (-140), a.k.a. “Sweet Dreams”, looks rather youthful at just 31 years old. The southpaw will be looking to use his tremendous punching power to drop the former champ early.

Hill has KO/TKO wins over Thiago Santos, Johnny Walker and Jimmy Crute, but the 43-year-old Teixeira will be one of his biggest tests yet.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 1.5 ROUNDS (-130) is a good play, as the veteran Teixeira might not win this fight, but he isn’t going to get dropped early in the main event. He’ll be trying to slow Hill and mitigate his punching power by getting his fight to the canvas.

However, the result of the fight will be what everyone expects — HILL BY KO/TKO (-104) at near even money — and it won’t go much further than the middle of Round 2.
