UFC 283 takes place tomorrow, Saturday January 21, 2023, at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In the main event, it will be former light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira (33-8 MMA) vs. Jamahal Hill (11-1 MMA) battling it out for the vacant title.
Teixeira, 43, is coming off a loss to Jiri Prochazka (29-3 MMA) this past June, and looking to get back in the win column.
Hill, 31, is coming into the Octagon sporting 3 wins in his last 3 fights, most recently defeating Thiago Santos (22-11 MMA) by TKO in August of last year.
In the co-main event, flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo (21-2-1 MMA) and former champ and current interim titleholder Brandon Moreno (20-6-2 MMA) will meet for the fourth time in a rematch with the title at stake.
Figueiredo, 35, last fought and defeated ‘The Assassin Baby’ by unanimous decision in January of 2022.
Moreno, 29, is hot off a TKO win against Kai Kara France (24-10) at UFC 277 last July.
All four title-fight competitors made weight as did the other 26 fighters on the card.
