The light heavyweight division finally has a new champion after Jamahal Hill defeated Glover Teixeira in Saturday’s UFC 283 main event.
Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) claimed the vacant 205-pound strap when he earned a unanimous decision win over Teixeira (33-9 MMA, 16-7 UFC), who retired from MMA afterward, in the pay-per-view headliner, which took place at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
