Jamahal Hill and Glover Teixeira both taken to hospital after brutal UFC 283 title fight

Jamahal Hill and Glover Teixeira were both taken straight to hospital after their bloody five-round title fight at UFC 283.

It was Hill who came out on top after 25 minutes to win the vacant light-heavyweight title, much to the disappointment of the Brazilian crowd who were routing for their countryman Teixeira to win back his belt. The bloodied and bruised 43-year-old took his gloves off in the cage and retired after the loss.

Both men were transported to a local hospital in Rio de Janeiro for safety precautions following their fight, meaning they were absent from the event's post-fight press conference. The extent of their injuries is unclear, but Teixeira did leave the cage with several facial lacerations that will require stitches.
