Betting Preview for UFC 283 Featuring Glover Teixeira vs Jamahal Hill and Other Big Cards on January 21 2023
Glover Teixeira (+102) vs Jamahal Hill (-125)
Light-heavyweight
Glover Teixeira is a true mixed martial arts legend, while Jamahal Hill is an up-and-coming figure looking for consecration. At stake will be the vacant 205-pound crown. For Teixeira, it would be the last great chance to be crowned champion in front of his home crowd. But he will face a larger, left-handed man with the youth and freshness needed to fulfill his dream of becoming a champion.
Prediction: Jamahal Hill wins by KO.

Deiveson Figueiredo (-112) vs Brandon Moreno (-112)
Flyweight
Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo have already faced each other three times in the last two years with different results in each fight: a draw, a victory for the Mexican, and a victory for the Brazilian, respectively.
This January 21, in Rio de Janeiro, they will face each other again in an octagon. The flyweight title will be at stake once more, which is currently held by Figueiredo, who perhaps this time will have the bonus of playing at home. This will be a bout that features total parity and a rivalry that has turned this clash into a true UFC classic.
Prediction: Figueiredo wins by unanimous decision.

Gilbert Burns (-375) vs Neil Magny (+275)
Welterweight
In this case, this will be a key fight between two of the UFC’s top 15 welters. After a three-fight campaign in 2022, Magny (27-9 MMA, 20-8 UFC) is coming off a third-round submission win over Daniel Rodriguez in November. Burns, 36, will try to bounce back in front of his home crowd from his loss to Khamzat Chimaev in one of the best fights of 2022.
Prediction: Burns wins by unanimous decision.

Lauren Murphy (+370) vs Jessica Andrade (-500)
Flyweight
In her native Rio de Janeiro, Jessica Andrade is looking for another shot at the flyweight belt. After losing to Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 261, she won her next two fights, most recently submitting Amanda Lemos in the UFC Vegas 52 main event.
Shevchenko was also on Murphy’s black list, whom she knocked out to snap a five-fight winning streak. Murphy then bounced back with a win over Miesha Tate.
Prediction: Andrade wins by submission.

Paul Craig (+145) vs Johnny Walker (-182)
Light-heavyweight
Johnny Walker is the nickname of this fighter from Rio de Janeiro who is favored in front of his home crowd against a Paul Craig who will want to forget his last fight, in which he lost to Volkan Oezdemir at UFC London. Walker’s strength is his dangerous striker, as he has a record of 15 fast-track victories.
Prediction: Walker wins by KO.
