With A Capacity Crowd Expected At UFC 283: Teixeira vs Hill, We Spoke To Three Athletes On The Card Who Also Competed On UFC's First Crowdless Event in ...
“But all I remember was (being) focused on the fight.” It took me like 10 seconds to, like, start the fight, shake hands, start moving, and then I said, ‘OK, we’re fighting.’ And then to really be in my zone that I had to be. “When I got to the Octagon, I said, ‘Oh s**t, I'm fighting.’ And then Demian Maia started walking out, and then I was like, ‘Wow. The arena was huge. The arena was empty. Burns, who expected a large amount of friends and family in the crowd for the biggest fight of his career to that point, had to help them find somewhere else to watch. The weight was so low, everything was so smooth. “It just looked like a dream, like, ‘What's going on?’ Everybody felt a little bit depressed the first time because we always fight for the crowd.” A win over the Brazilian legend would launch Burns into contention, but first, he had to be able to actually fight him, which was suddenly in jeopardy. It was weird.” Charles Oliveira and Kevin Lee hoped to give fans an exciting main event in Brasilia, but as has been well-documented, the March 14 fight day was mired in COVID-19 chaos. When UFC 283: Teixeira vs Hill gets underway, it’ll not only be the first UFC event in Brazil since March 2020.
The UFC light heavyweight title is on the line in Rio de Janeiro this Saturday. Competing for the strap are former champion Glover Teixeira and the surging ...
Gonna say that instead we get the guy that we saw against Big Jan and fought smart and remained crisp. Against more wild fighters, Teixeira has made that work by being ready to pounce on every wild mistake and clinch entry. Tim covers news and events and has also written longform and investigative pieces. I normally wouldn’t hesitate to pick a guy with all those advantages, but he is 43 and just went through a war with Prochazka. However, there’s plenty others who think that Hill’s creativity and finishing power might be enough to make him a UFC champion. Teixeira has been here before, he won the title from Jan Blachowicz at UFC 267 in 2021.
Two championship fights are official for UFC 283 on Saturday, plus one heavyweight came in 31 pounds heavier than their opponent.

He is 1-1 in the UFC. Marcos has a 13-0 record and is 1-0 in the UFC. On a 12-fight win streak, Almeida lands 3.56 significant strikes per minute and has a 57% strike accuracy mark. On the ground, Moises averages 1.11 takedowns per 15 minutes. In his legendary career, "Shogun" has landed 3.57 significant strikes per minute and has a 50% accuracy mark. He lands 6.19 significant strikes per minute and has a 55% strike accuracy mark, to go with a defensive mark of 51%. Walker has the edge in accuracy with a 59% mark (46% for Craig).

In the prelims, we like Bonfim to beat Mounir Lazzez, as Bonfim makes his UFC debut and is a prospect we’re very high on. All licensed and legal operators in the United States have resources available to bettors, including educational guides on how to spot problem gaming, links to support services and tools to self-exclude for a set period of time. However, Andrade is a much better striker and also will land the better shots. Although he has lost two in a row and his chin is a concern, we do think this is a great matchup for Rua to get his hand raised as the underdog. A rare women’s featherweight fight goes down on the prelims, and we like Josiane Nunes to finish Zarah Fairn here. Potieria is 0-1 in the UFC and did not look good in his debut.
Glover Teixeira returns to Brazil as the home crowd favorite, but he faces a tough test in surging up-and-comer Jamahal Hill as championship gold is on the ...
While a fight between Saturday’s winner and Jiri Prochazka would be the most ideal scenario, the recovery necessary for the former champion is expected to keep him out of action for all of 2023. Should he effectively avoid taking much damage and get on top of Hill throughout the fight, he is expected to cut away at Hill’s gas tank and be ahead on the scorecards. He made the most of his spot on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2019 by finishing his opponent in the second round to earn a UFC contract. “Sweet Dreams” began his professional career at 26 years-old in 2017 and got off to a 5-0 start that got him on the radar as one of the top prospects of the higher weight classes. Only two opponents (the late Anthony Johnson in 2016 and Alexander Gustafsson in 2017) have ever stopped him with strikes in the UFC and he is expected to confidently lean on that statistic should he enter the fire again on Saturday. Glover Teixeira’s homecoming could not be happening at a better time in his career, to be quite honest.

If Pantoja is unavailable, then former RIZIN title holder Manel Kape stands out as a potential option as he is on a three fight win streak of his own and is looking to break into the conversation. The one with the biggest adjustments to make is Moreno who will need to find an answer as he struggled to slow down the champion in the last meeting with his counter-striking. He was also part of the draw again months later as he rallied back to defeat Kai Kara-France to set up the fourth meeting with his rival in Brazil. Brandon Moreno’s rise to UFC stardom was the feel good story of 2021. The Brazilian breakout star claimed gold in 2020 with a dominant stoppage of long-time veteran Joseph Benavidez and defended the title in short order against Alex Perez later that year. Since late 2020, Deiveson Figuieredo and Brandon Moreno have gone back and forth in competitive bouts that have reinvigorated the flyweight division.

SportsLine's Kyle Marley reveals his UFC 283 picks and predictions for Jamahal Hill vs. Glover Teixeira in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Bonfim (13-0) is a well-regarded prospect who will be making his UFC debut following a series of dominant performances in various promotions. He's also backing a fighter who "has the edge with volume" to emerge with a big victory. But Lazzez should be the more technical striker and he can win by stoppage or decision. The matchup of Teixeira vs. The 35-year-old Tunisian hasn't fought since taking a decision victory over Ange Loosa in April of last year. In his UFC headlining debut last August, he stopped former title challenger Thiago Santos in the fourth round. Their wild back-and-forth affair won numerous Fight of the Year honors from MMA media outlets. Anyone who has followed him has seen massive returns. He watches every single fight for every professional MMA card and does extensive research before each event. Hill picks, Hill odds. At UFC 267 in October 2021, Teixeira became the oldest first-time UFC champion at age 42 when he defeated former title-holder Jan Blachowicz.

Moreno Burns Burns also holds enough of an edge in both power and as a submission threat to make this a challenging test against Magny that he's expected to win. Burns is an almost overwhelming betting favorite, particularly due to the next-level resolve he showed in a narrow loss to Khamzat Chimaev in one of 2022's best fights.

The 43-year-old Teixeira (33-8) won his first UFC title at age 42, but still looks as athletic and durable as his much younger opponents. He's backing a fighter who "will be the sharper competitor" to emerge with a big victory. The pick is Walker by knockout," Vithlani told SportsLine. The Brazilian slugger has lost four of his past six but looked much improved in his most recent outing, a submission win over prospect Ion Cutelaba last September. In the co-main event, flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo (-105) takes on top-rated challenger Brandon Moreno (-115) in the fourth meeting between these rivals. He has silenced skeptics by going 5-1-1 in seven UFC appearances with four stoppages. Instead of booking them for a rematch, UFC president Dana White decided to award the opportunity to Hill and Teixeira, who now gets a title shot in his home country. Smith, temporarily left without a fight, went on to help Hill train for Saturday's main event. This is because the vacant title was also at stake at UFC 282 last month, but the matter went unresolved. He also trains amateur boxers and speaks regularly with MMA fighters to understand the sport's nuances. Their showdown is the second of a title-fight doubleheader to close out the main UFC 283 fight card (10 p.m. Glover Teixeira says it's a dream come true to have a title fight in front of his hometown fans and he plans to make the most of the opportunity.

2022's Newcomer of the Year for many outlets, Jailton Almeida improved to 4-0 inside the octagon at UFC 283, TKO'ing fellow heavyweight Shamil Abdurakhimov.
Almeida rode his back until Shamil turned over again in response to the referee imploring him to fight back. They stayed in the clinch and Almeida was able to use his lower body to trip the Dagestani and then got on top. He lifted Abdurakhimov up in the air and slammed him down, but Shamil was able to get back up quickly.

Murphy tries to grab her by the cage, but Andrade defends herself and puts Murphy down to the floor. He now takes down Magny and suffocates him down in the corner.

In front of friends and family, the ageless Glover Teixeira will look to become a two-time UFC light-heavyweight champion at UFC 283 on January 21.
