The UFC returns to Brazil this Saturday for a stacked event that features a light heavyweight title fight between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill.
The title was vacated due to injury to Jiri “The Spider” Prochazka, whose previous title defense ended in a submission loss to Glover. Due to the draw at UFC Fight 301, Dana White announced that the two will fight for the belt.
In the main event, the highly-anticipated rematch between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno will take place. The two have faced off three times, with Moreno winning the first two fights and Figueiredo taking the third. After winning the rematch, Moreno became the interim champion, defeating Kai Kara-France via submission.
