Glover Teixeira vs. Jamahal Hill: Tale of the Tape

Glover Teixeira	Fighter	Jamahal 'Sweet Dreams' Hill
43	Age	31
188 cm	Height	193 cm
93 kg	Weight	93 kg
16-6	UFC Record	5-1
33-8	Overall MMA record	11-1
50%	Striking accuracy	52%
#2	UFC Ranking	#7

Teixeira won the light heavyweight title when he beat Jan Blachowicz at UFC 267 but he then lost the belt when making his first defence of it against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 275. Prochazka has since vacated the belt after revealing he required surgery on a serious shoulder injury and Teixeira now has the opportunity to win it back.

Hill has never fought for a UFC title, but he has been given this opportunity after winning three fights in a row to climb to number seven in the rankings.

Analysing the Teixeira vs. Hill odds

Teixeira is the 2.030* underdog, despite being a former champion, with his odds equating to an approximate 47.64% chance of victory. Hill can be backed at 1.847*, which translates to a 52.36% chance of winning.

Teixeira vs. Hill: Where is the value?

Former champion Teixeira is priced up as the underdog for this contest, but his ground game could prove to be the difference.

The veteran Brazilian boasts 10 victories by submission with his last two victories coming via that route.

Hill leans heavily on his stand-up skills and has never won a fight by submission so he will need to put a lot of faith in his takedown defence.

His only career loss came against submission specialist Paul Craig, losing via TKO after he was taken down, and Teixeira, who offers value at 2.030*, should be able to follow that blueprint.

Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno: Tale of the Tape

Deiveson Figueiredo	Fighter	Brandon Moreno
35	Age	29
165 cm	Height	170 cm
57 kg	Weight	57 kg
10-2-1	UFC Record	8-3-2
22-3-0	Overall MMA record	20-6-2
55%	Striking accuracy	39%
Champion	UFC Ranking	Interim Champion

Figueiredo and Moreno are making history in the other big fight at UFC 283 as they become the first UFC fighters to face each other for the fourth time.

They have each won one of the previous three meetings with the other ending in a draw, which suggests they are very evenly matched.

Figueiredo currently holds the flyweight title after beating Moreno by unanimous decision and each of his last three fights has come against the Mexican.

Moreno has fought once since that loss, defeating Kai Kara-France by TKO to claim the interim flyweight title.

Analysing the Figueiredo vs. Moreno odds

Figueiredo is the 1.961* underdog, despite being the champion, with his odds equating to an approximate 49.33% chance of victory. Moreno can be backed at 1.909*, which translates to a 50.67% chance of winning.

Figueiredo vs. Moreno: where is the value?

Two of the three previous meetings between Figueiredo and Moreno have gone the full five rounds; one ending in a draw and the other finishing in favour of Figueiredo.

Neither will want to leave this in the hands of the judges and it’s unlikely this fourth meeting will go the distance.

Under 4.5 rounds, which is available at 2.300*, looks to be the value bet for this contest as the two rivals attempt to get the job done early.
