John Hackleman has retired from cornering fights after an intense main event at UFC 283. The long-time coach was octagon side to support his prodigy Glover Teixeira who competed against Jamahal Hill for the vacant UFC heavyweight title.

It was a tough night for team Teixeira as Hill would dominate the fight to win UFC gold for the first time. After the fourth round, Hackleman wanted to stop the fight but was “outvoted” by his fellow cornermen. In an interview with MMA Fighting, Hackleman admitted that he thought it was a good time to end the fight going into the fifth and final round.

“I’m a known fight-stopper in between rounds,” Hackleman said. “I’m kind of known for that, maybe a little too much at times. But I thought this was a good time to stop it. I was outvoted in the corner.” (h/t MMA Fighting)

John Hackleman Wants to Protect His Fighters

“The Pit” founder and coach said he has experience stopping fights in the past and noted brain damage as one of the key reasons. Despite wanting to stop the fight at UFC 283, Hackleman is “thankful” that it wasn’t and Teixeira was able to continue. He did stay by his stance on wanting the fight ended.

“I’m thankful they didn’t [stop it],” Hackleman said. “I know this wouldn’t have gone well with anyone. It would have made a lot of people really unhappy, and I don’t want it to be about me. I would have thrown it in after the third. I would have been completely happy with the fight stopping there. I saw no reason for it to go on after that.” (h/t MMA Fighting)

Hill became the first Dana White’s Contender Series alumni to win a UFC title. Teixeira would lay his gloves in the middle of the octagon and announce his retirement from in-ring competition following his loss in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Hackleman will follow suit and retire from cornering fighters.

“That’s my last cornering,” he said. “I’m never going to work a corner again.” (h/t MMA Fighting)

Hackleman founded “The Pit” in Woodland Hills, California in 1986. Several notable fighters trained at the MMA training camp, including Chuck Liddel, Tito Ortiz, Tim Kennedy, and Jake Shields to name a few.

Jiri Prochazka congratulates new champion Jamahal Hill with intimidating message: ‘I’m coming’

After an aggressive slugfest, Jamahal Hill has been crowned as the UFC’s newest light heavyweight champion. Jiri Prochazka, the man who recently vacated the title due to injury, has a congratulatory but intimidating message for the new champion. Things got explosive at UFC 283, and although the fight was no easy victory, Jamahal Hill became […]

Things got explosive at UFC 283, and although the fight was no easy victory, Jamahal Hill became the first Dana White‘s Contender Series alumni to realize his dream of becoming a UFC champion.

Hill faced Glover Teixeira for the UFC light heavyweight title, and after five hard-fought rounds, things were very clear. Jamahal Hill had done enough to garner the decision victory over Teixeira and officially capture the vacated title of Jiri Prochazka.

Jiri Prochazka makes chilling congratulatory message to Jamahal Hill after impressive UFC 283 victory

Last seen in action at UFC 275, Jiri Prochazka also realized his dreams of becoming a champion that night: defeating the humble legend Glover Teixeira as well. In what was one of the greatest back-and-forth title fights of all time, fans were treated to a true nail-biter that night.

Momentum swung either way, multiple times. Finally, events reached a conclusion in the fifth round when Prochazka managed to lock in a rear-naked choke on Teixeira and force the tap. It was a legendary fight, fully solidifying the pure excitement that either fighter was when trapped in a cage. Sadly, before either man could run it back, injury struck.

A horrific shoulder injury would rear its ugly head when Prochazka took a bad landing when receiving a suplex in training, by his own admission. This would derail the Czech samurai for nine months, forcing the UFC to find a suitable replacement for him. This made way for Jamahal Hill, granting him the opportunity to capture gold at UFC 283.

On Instagram after the event, Jiri Prochazka would deliver a chilling message. Standing in a frozen, snow-covered field stood ‘Denisa’. Large snowflakes enveloped him, floating past his face or landing on him. Calmly, the former champion said: “Congratulations.”

He stood in silence for a brief moment before continuing: “I’m coming…” He began marching forward in the snowy field and then screamed at the top of his lungs, a manic expression of violence on his face: “I’m coming!”

Johnny Walker aims for two UFC title victories following UFC 283 win: ‘That’s my dream’

UFC light-heavyweight, Johnny Walker, set his sights high following last nights stoppage victory.

UFC light-heavyweight, Johnny Walker, set his sights high following last nights stoppage victory.

Walker would square of with jiu-jitsu ace Paul Craig as part of UFC 283, in a fight that was never going to go the distance. As Craig grabbed the single leg, Walker connected with several hard, straight shots that wobbled the Scot, before finishing the fight off with standing hammer-fists.

The victory marks walkers second stoppage victory in a row and first time that the Brazilian has strung a pair of wins together since early 2019. The 30-year-old seems to be gaining back some confidence after a rocky few years in the promotion, but talking with media, revealed that his dreams have not waivered.

Walker credited Daniel Cormier for his accomplishments, saying that he aspires to be as great as the American one day and claim titles in not one, but two weight classes.

He’s champ-champ – two belts. Come on. That’s my dream, as well, and this guy did it,” Walker said during the press conference. “I want to be on his level one day. I want to be a good wrestler, improve all of my skills, because I want to be there. I want to be ready to do what he did.

“I know it’s a huge thing to do. He’s a special fighter and a motivation not just for me, but everyone else. He’s a big, big motivation, and I want to do what he did.”

Johnny Walker talks big win

Prior to the bout, Craig was ranked No.9 in the division and his recent form had seen him capture wins over some impressive names. Walker attributed the win to his progression as a fighter and admitted it was something that he should be proud of.

“This guy just finished Jamahal Hill, [Magomed] Ankalaev, and I just finished him,” Walker said. “I know MMA is different because games don’t fit each other’s games. But I think this means something.

“I finished a guy in the top 10 in the first round, and this guy already fought three rounds with Ankalaev and finished Hill in the first hound, and then I finished him. It shows I’m getting better, and my evolution keeps going on. Every fight, I get a better fighter.” (H/T MMAJunkie)

Alex Pereira tipped for light heavyweight division move following Jamahal Hill title win at UFC 283

Reigning UFC middleweight champion, Alex Pereira has been tipped to make an eventual light heavyweight move during his time with the organization – by his training partner, Glover Teixeira, who suffered a title fight loss to Jamahal Hill at UFC 283 last night. Pereira, the current undisputed middleweight champion, managed to land his undisputed status […]

Pereira, the current undisputed middleweight champion, managed to land his undisputed status back in November of last year at Madison Square Garden – defeating Israel Adesanya with a fifth round TKO in their main event clash.

In the time since, the Sao Paulo striker has been linked with both an immediate title rematch with Adesanya, as well as a championship clash opposite former gold holder, Robert Whittaker, ahead of an expected April Octagon comeback.

“I want to come back in April or May,” Alex Pereira told ESPN through an interpreter during a recent interview. “I will be ready for those dates. There’s nothing in the works now, and I know probably it’s going to be Izzy (Israel Adesanya) with a rematch, or probably Robert Whittaker.”

Featuring in the corner of Minas Gerais veteran, Teixeira last night in Rio de Janeiro, Alex Pereira has since been tipped to fight for light heavyweight gold in the near future – after his teammate dropped a unanimous decision (50-44, 50-44, 50-44) loss to the Dana White’s Contender Series alum.

Alex Pereira tipped to make light heavyweight title move following UFC 283

“In reality, I think I’m too tough for my own good,” Glover Teixeira said through an interpreter. “Too tough for my own health. I can’t keep up anymore. I’m gonna focus my energy on Alex Pereria, on ‘Po Atan’. He’s gonna keep his [middleweight] belt for a while and then go up to light heavyweight.”

Previously holding undisputed light heavyweight gold during his kickboxing career under the scrutiny of GLORY, Pereira has competed exclusively at the middleweight limit during his four-fight UFC tenure – stopping the trio of Andreas Michailidis, Sean Strickland, and the aforenoted, Adesanya, in between a decision win over Bruno Silva.
