The UFC finally crowned a new light heavyweight champion Saturday when he Jamahal Hill emerged victorious against Glover Teixeira in the UFC 283 main event.
After failing to determine a new titleholder in December after Jiri Prochazka vacated the belt due to injury, Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) got his opportunity and took advantage with a lopsided unanimous decision win over Teixeira (33-9 MMA, 16-7 UFC) at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
The 205-pound title is one of the most storied in MMA history, and now Hill gets his opportunity to start a lineage of his own. But who should be the first to challenge him? There are multiple options in play.
