The UFC light heavyweight title is on the line in Rio de Janeiro this Saturday. Competing for the strap are former champion Glover Teixeira and the surging Jamahal Hill.
Teixeira has been here before, he won the title from Jan Blachowicz at UFC 267 in 2021. It’s new territory for Hill, though, who has headlined just twice before and has never fought outside the US.
The BE staff mostly think Teixeira will get his hand raised on Saturday night, due to his experience and versatility. However, there’s plenty others who think that Hill’s creativity and finishing power might be enough to make him a UFC champion.
