Teixeira, a native Brazilian, relished the idea of competing at UFC 283, which takes place Jan. 21 in Rio de Janeiro.

Hill said he didn't hesitate when the promotion called him with the idea, which came before Blachowicz and Ankalaev had even made it back to the dressing room from their fight. "Sweet Dreams" is aware that some observers may doubt his deservedness but said that's why he's willing to take on the challenge of traveling to Teixeira's home country on just six weeks' notice.
