UFC 283 Main Card best bets
Jamahal Hill comes into this fight with an MMA record of 11-1. He is 6-1 in the UFC, most recently beating Thiago Santos by KO/TKO back in August of 2022. Hill is averaging 6.46 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 52%. He is absorbing 3.51 strikes and has a striking defense of 45%. His grappling has been ineffective, having not landed a takedown in the UFC, however; he does have a takedown defense of 65%.
Hill is the favorite in this fight, and he looks to be the right side. He has won his last 3 UFC fights in a row, all of which came by KO/TKO. Glover Teixeira has won 6 of his last 7 fights, but Hill's superior striking looks to be the biggest difference. For that reason, backing Hill to claim the title will be the play.
