The Uncertainty in the Light Heavyweight Division

Then, a title bout between Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz ended in a draw, leaving the belt vacant. Jamahal Hill seized the opportunity and won the championship by defeating Glover Teixeira. However, fate struck again as Hill had to surrender the title due to injury.
