Summary

Jamahal Hill answered all our questions against Glover Teixeira on Saturday night at UFC 283. Could he handle the step-up in competition? Yes. Was he ready to go hard for the full 25 minutes? Indeed. Would he be cowed by having 13,000 Brazilians chanting for his death? Hell no. Hill emerged with the clean sweep unanimous decision over Teixeira and -- sort of out of nowhere -- also the UFC light heavyweight title. So, what will the Jamahal Hill Era look like? We have some guesses. Plus, Brandon Moreno gets the last laugh on Davey Figgs. Or does he? And Jose Aldo is going in the Hall, brother. This episode is presented in part by Nord VPN.

0:10.9	and now your hosts, Ben Folks, and Chad Dundas.
0:17.6	That's right, you're listening to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.

0:44.0	It was maybe a lower profile pay-per-view for the UFC, but it actually left a lot of stuff
0:49.7	we could talk about.
0:51.6	Two new champions were crowned, a bunch of UFC mainstays nabbed victories.
0:57.8	Brazil got its first pay-per-view event in quite a while. I think Jailton Almeida emerged as
1:03.6	someone who's starting to become a legit threat at heavyweight. We will talk on this show
1:09.2	primarily about the title fights today. Before we get into that,
1:13.2	though, we ought to pour one out for the big homie Maricio Malani Hua, who perhaps called it quits
1:21.2	in the wake of a first round TKO loss over the weekend. Ben, how are you going to remember the
1:26.6	career of Shogun Huah?
1:28.9	You know, I can't point to one single event because I will remember really the arc
1:34.9	from winning the Pride Grand Prix and having kind of one of the best single years of
1:41.3	MMA combat that we had ever seen up to that point.
1:45.3	And I remember kind of thinking, all right, this guy's Shogun, he's on top of the world here,
