Teixeira vs. Hill - Fights to Watch

Without any extenuating circumstances, UFC 283 was a pretty good time. Fans were treated to numerous finishes, some big highlight KOs, upsets, dramatic narrative shifts, the crowning of a new champion, and the changing of the guard (again) for the flyweight belt. Despite this, the vibes were definitely off. The fact that Shogun was put out to pasture set the tone for the PPV. Then, in both the co-main and main events, hometown favorites suffered crushing defeats in fights in which they simply were not competitive. Fans erupted, and the building appeared to be only about 23% full. Overall, it was an odd night for the UFC.

Is there an immediate title challenger Jamahal Hill who would be heavily favored to defeat? Is Brandon Moreno finally getting a break from rehashing old fights? And does the UFC have any other options for the strawweight title besides Jessica Andrade?

To answer those questions, as well as a few others, I'll be employing the classic Silva/Shelby fight booking methodology from the UFC's early days. That entails pitting winners against winners, losers against losers, and similarly experienced players against one another. Following that model, hopefully a few of these bout ideas will make it off the page and into the Octagon. Let's get to the fighting!
