Brazilian UFC light heavyweight Johnny Walker commented on the upcoming promotion's light heavyweight title fight between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill.
Johnny Walker
Teixeira is very strong and extremely experienced. Hill is younger and faster than him, but Glover is a mature fighter with a lot of fights under his belt. The bookies are calling Jamahal the favorite in the upcoming fight, but I still think Glover has a better chance.
The fight between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill will headline UFC 283, which takes place on January 21 in Brazil.
Teixeira, 43, lost his last fight to Jiří Procházka by submission (rear-naked choke) in the fifth round, which took place in June 2022 at UFC 275. He has 33 wins and eight losses under his belt.
Hill, 31, defeated Thiago Santos by TKO in the fourth round at UFC on ESPN 40 this August. He has 11 wins and one loss.
