The UFC’s first two title fights of the new year are complete – and two divisions have new No. 1 fighters.
At UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro, Jamahal Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) was mostly dominant against former champion Glover Teixeira (33-9 MMA, 16-7 UFC) to win the vacant light heavyweight title in the main event. And in the co-feature, Brandon Moreno (21-6-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) likely wrapped up his rivalry with Deiveson Figueiredo (21-3-1 MMA, 10-3-1 UFC) with a third-round TKO to unify the flyweight titles.
Across the rest of the card, there were some other movers and shakers, as well, like Gilbert Burns (21-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC), who took out perennial contender Neil Magny (27-10 MMA, 20-9 UFC) with ease at welterweight. And former women’s strawweight champ Jessica Andrade (24-9 MMA, 15-7 UFC) dominated Lauren Murphy (16-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) in a flyweight bout.
