Pros react after Jamahal Hill defeats Glover Teixeira at UFC 283

Tonight’s UFC 283 was headlined by a fight between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill for the promotions vacant light heavyweight title.

Teixeira (33-9 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since losing the 205lbs strap to Jiri Prochazka at UFC 275 in June of 2022. Prior to that setback, the 43-year-old veteran had put together a six-fight winning streak.

Meanwhile, Jamahal Hill (12-1 MMA) entered UFC 283 sporting a three-fight winning streak, his most recent being a TKO victory over Thiago Santos in August of 2022. Prior to that, ‘Sweet Dreams’ had earned back-to-back knockout victories over Johnny Walker and Jimmy Crute.

Tonight’s UFC 283 headliner proved to be a coming out party for Jamahal Hill. ‘Sweet Dreams’ was able to dominate the former title holder for the majority of their twenty-five minute affair, battering Glover Teixeira with big punches, kicks and knees. After five rounds of grueling action, Hill was awarded the unanimous decision victory.

I’m thinking texeira via sub or hill via KO are the 2 most likely scenarios…how y’all feeling about it? #ufc283

1-0 Hill. He’s showing poise to be a youngster in a title fight against a vet in opponent territory. Glover is experienced so can never sleep on him #UFC283

Stop the fight! Respect to the toughness of Glover but this isn’t going to get any better #UFC283

— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) January 22, 2023

Glover rolls with punches so well. He still gets hit, but a lot of shots go missed or deflected as well.

Glover doesn’t want it and doesn’t deserve it but I want them to stop this fight #ifc283
