UFC 267 is in the books and two fighters have gold wrapped around the waist. The event, taking place on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi, delivered with high-level action and some dramatic theater throughout.

Glover Teixeira, the 42-year-old light heavyweight, managed to wrangle the 205-pound title from Jan Blachowicz with a dominant performance in the main event. Teixeira, who fought for the title only once before in 2014, used his incredible grappling game to take apart the champion before landing a massive strike in Round 2 to set up the submission victory.

Now, it appears the veteran will meet top contender Jiri Prohcazka next after the challenger was cageside for the event.

Plus, Petr Yan is once again golden after a masterful performance against Cory Sandhagen in the co-main event. Yan took a unanimous decision from his opponent to earn the interim bantamweight title as full champ Aljamain Sterling continues to recover from neck surgery.

Plus, Islam Makhachev and Khamzat Chimaev reminded why they could have next in the lightweight and welterweight divisions, respectively, with dominant outings on the undercard. Makhachev scored a first-round submission via kimura over Dan Hooker to run his winning streak to nine. Chimaev, meanwhile, dominated Li Jingliang for a first-round sub of his own as he has absorbed just one significant strike through his first four appearances in the Octagon.
