Glover Teixeira
- Odds: +102
- Record: 33-8-0
- Age: 43
- Height: 1.88 m
- Weight: 92 kg
- Reach: 193 cm
At 43 years old, Glover Teixeira has a very long history in the mixed martial arts universe, where he has been in action for more than two decades. And despite his seniority, his career is far from declining.
The fighter from Minas Gerais had won six consecutive fights until 2022, when he lost by submission to Czech Jiri Procházka, who took the light heavyweight crown from him. Now, the title is vacant, and he will try to regain it against Jamahal Hill, 12 years younger and in better physical conditions. Teixeira will return to fight in his home country after more than 7 seasons.
Jamahal Hill
- Odds: -125
- Record: 11-1-0
- Age: 31
- Height: 1.93 m
- Weight: 92 kg
- Reach: 201 cm
Nothing seems to be holding Jamahal Hill back in his quest to become light heavyweight champion. The stumble he suffered against Paul Craig in 2021 (defeat by technical knockout) did not dampen his spirit.
On the contrary, it gave him the courage to quickly turn the page and accumulate victories while waiting for an opportunity. He defeated Jimmy Crute, Johnny Walker, and Thiago Santos in three outstanding fights. And so came this opportunity, the most important of his career in the octagon.
JefeBet Prediction
Teixeira’s experience —coupled with fighting as a local— may be a factor against Hill. But we believe that after the first moments of study, the American will take advantage of his better physical condition and his freshness to beat the Brazilian by the fast track.
Prediction: Jamahal Hill wins by KO.
