Hill beats Teixeira to claim UFC light heavyweight crown

Hill dominated the main event of the card, mixing up a wide variety of strikes and mostly avoiding grappling exchanges where Teixeira would have had an advantage.

"Where I came from, to get to this, it's unreal," Hill said in a post-fight interview. "Anything's possible. Hard work, dedication, accountability, don't let nobody tell you nothing."

Teixeira, who beat Jan Blachowicz to win the title in October 2021 only to lose it in his first defence against Jiri Prochazka in May 2022, announced his retirement after the fight.

"In reality, I think I'm too tough for my own good, too tough for my own health. I can't keep up anymore," Teixeira said.

In the co-main event, a doctor's stoppage saw Brandon Moreno win the flyweight title when his opponent Deiveson Figueiredo was deemed unable to continue beyond the third round due to a cut near his eye.
