American mixed martial artist Jamahal Hill is the new UFC light heavyweight champion after displaying an emphatic unanimous victory over Brazil’s Glover Texeira in UFC 283 held in Jeunesse Arena this Sunday (Philippine Time)
The 31-year old Hill dominantly rocked Texeira from start to finish firing various strikes which caused the latter a cut in the left eyelid and a gash above the right eyebrow.
Texeira tried to get the fight on the floor where he has an advantage at, but to no avail, continued to suffer beating from the American fighter as his blood splattered across the cage
Hill won all five rounds on all three scorecards which saw his record climb up to 12-1 after defeating the 43-year old Texeira.
“From where I came from to get to this, it’s unreal,” he said. “Anything’s possible. Hard work. Dedication. Accountability.”
Meanwhile, the Brazilian fighter announced his retirement shortly after the fight by leaving his gloves in the center of the cage.
“I felt great. I did everything right,” Texeira said. “I think I’m too tough for my own good, too tough for my own health. I can’t keep up anymore. It’s an honor to put the gloves down the same night as Shogun.”
Texeira was the former light heavyweight champion for an eight-month stretch from 2021-2022 after defeating Polish fighter Jan Blachowicz.
However, he lost his first title defense against Jiri Prochazka of Czech Republic in May 2022.
Texeira pulled off a professional record of 33-9 before ending his 21 years of MMA career.
