UFC 283: Glover Teixeira vs. Jamahal Hill - Unofficial Awards

The first UFC PPV event of the year had a hitch or two, but it was overall a success. Two new champions were crowned, making it an eventful evening. Unfortunately for the Brazilian crowd, one of their countrymen, Deiveson Figueiredo, dropped his belt in the process of concluding his quadrilogy with Brandon Moreno. The other Brazilian fighting for gold, Glover Teixeira, endured a hell of a beating at the hands of Jamahal Hill, coming up short in his bid to regain the light heavyweight strap. Teixeira retired after the contest, making him the second legendary light heavyweight figure to retire on the night, following Mauricio Rua, better known as Shogun Rua, out the door.
