UFC 283 takes place Saturday, Jan. 21 in Rio de Janeiro at Jeunesse Arena. There are fifteen fights on the loaded docket with the light heavyweight and flyweight title's on the line. Here's a rundown on where to find the action and what to look out for:

Main Card Fight Information

Co-Headliners: Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno 4 (Flyweight); Glover Teixeira vs. Jamahal Hill (Light Heavyweight)

The Remaining Fight Card: Paul Craig vs. Johnny Walker (Light Heavyweight); Lauren Murphy vs. Jessica Andrade (Women's Flyweight); Gilbert Burns vs. Neil Magny (Welterweight)

Time: 10 p.m. ET

Where to watch: ESPN+ PPV

Odds (via Oddschecker): Figueiredo (-110) vs. Moreno (-105); Teixeira (+105) vs. Hill (-120); Murphy (+380) vs. Andrade (-450); Burns (-375) vs. Magny (+330); Craig (+150) vs. Walker (-170); 

Co-Headliner Fights - Key Storylines

The main card is headlined by two title bouts. Glover Teixeira (33-8, 16-6 in UFC) and Jamahal Hill (11-1, 6-1 in UFC) square off for the vacant light heavyweight crown, and Deiveson Figueiredo (21-2-1, 10-2-1 in UFC) faces Brandon Moreno (20-6-2, 8-3-2 in UFC) for the flyweight title .

Teixeira recently posted a video on social media showing the fighter seemingly in prime form. 

He last fought in June 2022, losing to Jiri Prochazka. That loss snapped a six-match winning streak for Teixeira. 

He'll look to avoid consecutive defeats for the first time since 2014. He is scheduled to fight Hill, who is 6-1 in his career with the UFC and has won three in a row. His last loss came in June 2021 at UFC 263 and each of his last six fights was decided by either knockout or technical knockout. 

In the co-headliner, Figueiredo and Moreno 4 is a fight for bragging rights to go along with the title stakes. This will be the fourth time the two fought in the octagon, marking the first time two fighters are fighting for a belt for a fourth time. They fought to a draw at UFC 256 in Dec. 2020, then Moreno won six months later by submission at UFC 263 in June 2021. 

Last January at UFC 270, the two fighters met for a third time, a Figueiredo win by decision. That was Figueiredo's last fight while Moreno defeated Kai Kara-France by technical knockout at UFC 277 on July 29, 2022.

Other Main Card Fights - Key Storylines

Murphy (16-5, 7-5 in UFC) is the second-largest underdog on Saturday's card. At five-foot, eight-inches she stands five inches taller than Andrade (23-9, 14-7 in UFC) but the size advantage isn't expected to work in her favor.

Murphy has been the underdog in her last three fights and won twice. Andrade was last this big of a favorite while at UFC Fight Night 104 when she won by unanimous decision against Angela Hill.

Burns (20-5, 13-5 in UFC) versus Magny (27-10, 20-8 in UFC) and Craig (16-5-1, 8-5-1 in UFC) versus Walker (19-7, 5-4 in UFC) are two fights between mixed martial arts vets. Burns first fought in the UFC in 2014 and Magny's first fight came in 2013.

Craig and Walker match up well. Walker has a longer reach but there isn't much of a size difference between the two. Craig lost his last match on July 22, 2022 against Volkan Oezdemir. Before that, he won four in a row, including one against light heavyweight title contender Hill.

Walker lost to Hill in Feb. 2022 but followed that with a win by submission in the first round of his last match on Sept. 9.

Bonfim (13-0) and Ferreira (9-0) are also set to make their UFC debuts and bring undefeated mixed martial arts records into UFC 283.

Bonfim is a slight favorite against Lazzez (11-2, 2-1 in UFC) while Ferreira has a tougher match as an underdog against Rodrigues (13-4).

Rua, 41, has one win in his last four matches and faces 26-year-old Poteria (19-3, 0-1 in UFC), making his second appearance in the UFC. Poteria lost to Nick Negumereanu at UFC 277 in July 2022 and is seeking his first UFC win against Rua (27-13-1, 11-11-1 in UFC).

Adburakhimov (20-7, 5-5 in UFC) looks to do the unthinkable in the only heavyweight match on the card. He's the biggest underdog at UFC 283 against Junior (17-2, 3-0 in UFC) and has lost his last three matches.

Abdurakhimov last won on April 19, 2019. In a battle of two Goliaths, Abdurakhimov is playing the role of David.
