UFC’s 2023 PPV DEBUT! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) kicks off its New Year pay-per-view (PPV) campaign on Sat., Jan. 21, 2023, with a battle for the vacant Light Heavyweight crown between former champion and No. 2-ranked contender, Glover Teixeira, looking to stop the momentum of surging No. 7-seeded up-and-comer, Jamahal Hill. In the co-main event of UFC 283, which will take place inside Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the greatest rivalries in promotional history resumes as Flyweight kingpin, Deiveson Figueiredo, battles interim belt keeper, Brandon Moreno, for a fourth (and likely final) time.

Chimaev started the fight strong with a takedown, but unlike past foes, Burns was able to scramble up quickly. As a result, the two began to trade, and both men landed huge shots! It was Chimaev dictating the action, however, which included a stiff jab that dropped his foe to the canvas.

Burns survived though, and in the second, he began to earn his revenge. Turning the tables with heavy hooks and overhands of his own, Burns clearly took the second frame, badly stunning Chimaev in the closing second of the round and setting up a tiebreaker third round.

Once more, Chimaev’s pressure and volume were really effective, and his uppercut found a home often. Burns didn’t go down without swinging, but Chimaev really outworked him in the first half of the round, and that’s what the judges remembered most.
