UFC 283 Preview with Billy Ward


In this episode, Action Network/Fantasy Labs MMA writer Billy Ward and I preview UFC 283, which marks the UFC's first event in Brazil since 2020. We look at the vacant Light Heavyweight title bout between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill. After a draw for the vacant belt last month, will there actually be a winner at 205 pounds? While Teixeira lost his belt last year, Hill's boxing and punching offer him a great chance at winning with his hands. The winner will likely see Jiří Procházka at finally find the ultimate champ at 205 pounds. Then, we look at the UFC's first tetralogy bout for the Flyweight belt between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno. With each guy 1-1-1 in the first three fights, this will determine the kind at 125 pounds. We then look at our other favorite fights, Billy's DFS strategy for Cash and GPP contests. Finally, we end this episode by discussing reigning UFC Heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou leaving the UFC.
