Here are the results from UFC 283, which took place Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In the main event, Jamahal Hill (12-1) secured the vacant light-heavyweight title, by recording a unanimous decision win over former champ, Glover Teixeira (33-9).
After the bout, the 43-year-old Teixeira announced he is hanging up the gloves, after fighting professionally for twenty-plus years.
In the co-headliner, Brandon Moreno (21-6-2) unified the flyweight crown, by scoring a TKO win over Deiveson Figueiredo (21-3-1). The fight was stopped after round three concluded, as Figueiredo’s right eye had swollen completely shut.
Following the fight, which was the fourth time the rivals had battled, Figueiredo announced he’s moving up to bantamweight.
