At the age of 31, Hill has a series of 3 wins against rivals Jimmy Crute, Johnny Walker and Thiago Santos. These are all victories, in which Hill defeated Crute and Walker from the first half.

Meanwhile, Teixeira will face the opportunity to regain the lost UFC belt in the hands of Prochazka. The Light Heavyweight belt is in a complex situation as it is now partly because Teixeira refused to fight Ankalaev.
