UFC 283 Results: Teixeira vs. Hill

UFC 283 opened the 2023 pay-per-view schedule at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on January 21. Jamahal Hill won the vacant light heavyweight championship against Glover Teixeira, Brandon Moreno unified the flyweight titles, and a 15-fight card combined new contenders with farewells to two Brazilian veterans.

Hill becomes light heavyweight champion

Hill’s punches and head kicks repeatedly hurt Teixeira, and his defense stopped many of the veteran’s takedown attempts. Teixeira still found success on the ground at points and continued attacking through a difficult five-round fight.

All three judges scored the contest 50–44 for Hill. He became the first Dana White’s Contender Series graduate to win a UFC championship. Teixeira announced his retirement afterward, closing his career with a resilient effort in front of the Brazilian crowd.

Moreno settles the fourth meeting

Moreno entered with the interim flyweight belt and Figueiredo with the undisputed championship. Their fourth meeting again mixed striking and grappling, but swelling around Figueiredo’s eye became the decisive issue.

The doctor stopped the fight after round three, producing a TKO at 5:00 of that round. Moreno became the unified champion and finished the four-fight series with two wins, one loss and a draw.

Brazilian winners and Shogun’s farewell

Gilbert Burns submitted Neil Magny in the first round, Jessica Andrade dominated Lauren Murphy over three rounds, and Johnny Walker stopped Paul Craig. Ihor Potieria defeated Maurício Rua in Rua’s retirement fight, giving the event another significant farewell.

The Bonfim brothers both won their UFC debuts: Gabriel submitted Mounir Lazzez, and Ismael knocked Terrance McKinney out with a flying knee. Brunno Ferreira, Thiago Moisés and Jailton Almeida also delivered finishes, helping make the full undercard a substantial part of the night’s story.
