UFC 267 took place on Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. During the event, the UFC crowned a new light heavyweight king and an interim bantamweight champion. Along with those belts, several fighters who have been on many “future UFC titleholder” lists moved closer to getting their shots at UFC gold.
In the main event, Glover Teixeira, who is widely recognized as one of the “good guys” of MMA, took the light heavyweight title from Jan Blachowicz. What made Teixeira’s submission win even more noteworthy was that it came two days after his 42nd birthday and in his 40th professional fight.
