UFC 283 live results: Teixeira vs. Hill, Figueiredo vs. Moreno 4 (2024)

Welcome to F4WOnline.com’s live coverage of UFC 283: Teixeira vs. Hill, emanating from the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Octagon is back in Brazil for the first time since March 2020, and the promotion returns with two titles on the line, and, hopefully, two undisputed champions by the time the night ends.

The vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship is on the line, once again, in the main event as former champion Glover Teixeira looks to regain the title when he takes on Jamahal Hill. The vacant championship was supposed to be decided at UFC 282 in December, but Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev fought to a draw, and this fight was quickly booked afterwards in order to try and determine a new champion. Teixeira is fighting for the first time since losing the title to Jiri Prochazka in June, while Hill comes in riding a three-fight win streak.

In the co-main event, it is the first time two men battle for the fourth time inside the Octagon as UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo and Interim UFC Flyweight Champion Brandon Moreno look to unify the titles. The three-fight series has seen an even split, with each man scoring a win and the third contest being a draw. The winner becomes the rightful top guy at 125 pounds as the division moves forward following this.

Also on the main card is a big welterweight bout pitting Gilbert Burns against Neil Magny, a women’s flyweight bout between former UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion Jessica Andrade and Lauren Murphy, and an exciting light heavyweight title kicks off the main card as Paul Craig takes on Johnny Walker. The show also has ten fights on the prelims, capped off by the retirement bout of all-time legend and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.

Follow along with our live coverage of the event beginning at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time with preliminary action all the way through the main card.

We are looking for your thoughts on tonight’s event, so send a thumbs up, a thumbs down or a thumbs in the middle along with a best fight and a worst fight to Dave at dave@wrestlingobserver.com.
