Jamahal Hill and Anthony Smith executed on their plan to train together for UFC 283, and there is no ego involved. Just a few weeks ago, Hill (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) and Smith (36-17 MMA, 11-7 UFC) were scheduled to face each other in the main event of UFC Fight Night 221 on March 11. But then the light heavyweight division turned into chaos, and everything changed. Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz fought to a split draw for the vacant 205-pound belt at UFC 282 earlier this month, prompting the promotion to quickly rebook a new championship matchup between Hill and Glover Teixeira (33-8 MMA, 16-6 UFC) for the main event of UFC 283 , which takes place Jan. 21 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro
