The UFC light heavyweight title is on the line for a second consecutive pay-per-view event at UFC 283, which now features two title fights.

Jamahal hill will be taking on Glover Teixeria for the vacant title. This is less than a month after Jiri prochazka, who was injured in her shoulder and lost the fight between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed ankalaev ended in a draw. Frustrated by the lackluster fight, UFC President Dana White made the Teixeira vs. Hill fight on the spot.
