Glover Teixeira

Jamahal Hill came to Brazil ready to go five rounds, and mixed in some sneaky head kicks en route to a dominant five-round decision win over Glover Teixeira ...

Jamahal ended the round with a big knee to the head and a follow up right hand at the buzzer. Bruce Buffer read the scorecards and all three had a clean sweep for Hill, with a 10-8 round thrown in for good measure. Hill broke the record for most significant strikes by a fighter in a light heavyweight fight which went the distance, previously held by Marvin Vettori. Halfway through the round Glover was able to finally get Hill to the ground. Glover opened round three with a single leg takedown and then switched to a double leg against the fence. Glover tried to goad him into attacking by calling him on but Hill was not to be baited into needless risk. Teixeira pressured forward for the rest of his round and the fighters each landed good shots in the last ten seconds of a round that Hill clearly won. Hill swarmed with strikes that hurt Teixeira but Glover fought back when urged to from Mark Goddard. Hill managed to use the fence to get back to his feet with one minute left in the round. Jamahal switched from trying to land bombs to pumping his jab out and touching the face of Glover, from both stances. Glover won the belt in 2021 but lost it in 2022’s ‘Fight of the Year’ against Jiri Prochazka. Hill broke free and landed a monster knee on the break.

UFC's return to Brazil was filled with many twists and turns, and a pair of new champions crowned.
