At 44, Glover Teixeira is the favorite to take the vacant light heavyweight belt at UFC 283. And will the fourth fight between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno deliver? JustinBarrasso locks in his predictions for Saturday's action-packed card
Whenever it occurs, Jamahal Hill’s first run as UFC light heavyweight champion is going to be exciting.
But for all the positives, there is one negative. He is fighting Glover Teixeira at UFC 283, and Teixeira possesses far more ways to win this fight. Hill’s time should come, but the present belongs to Teixeira. Now 44, it is remarkable that Teixeira remains such a force. His greatness will reach a whole new level if he can become a two-time UFC light heavyweight champion.As Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno prepare to fight for a fourth time, it will be extremely interesting to see who can make the better adjustments from their prior three encounters.
I still think this comes down to power. Figueiredo is going to connect more than Moreno. He is also a better defender, protecting himself from big blows. Both Both Figueiredo and Moreno relish pressuring their opponents. Moreno’s jab is a very effective weapon, but he has a hard time landing when Figueiredo is drilling him with leg kicks. Figueiredo needs to relentlessly stick to his game plan, which was his recipe for success when they fought last January.
