Jamahal Hill was crowned as the UFC light heavyweight champion after dominating Glover Teixeira over five rounds on Saturday at UFC 283. Hill won by unanimous decision with scores of 50-44, 50-44, and 50-44.
Hill controlled the fight from the outset, using his reach and power to keep Teixeira at bay. He landed several heavy punches and kicks throughout the fight, and Teixeira was never able to get close enough to mount a serious challenge.
The victory is a major accomplishment for Hill, who is now one of the most promising young fighters in the UFC. He is just 31 years old and has only been fighting professionally for five years.
Teixeira, meanwhile, is a veteran of the sport and was a former UFC light heavyweight champion. He was looking to regain his title, but Hill was simply too much for him on this night.
