Hill relinquishes UFC light heavyweight title due to Achilles injury

Hill suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and will require surgery.
Hill won the vacant UFC light heavyweight title in January by defeating Glover Teixeira.
This is the third time in three years the UFC light heavyweight title has been vacated due to injury.
Hill expressed focus on recovery and intent to prove he's the true champion upon return.
No date had been set for Hill's first title defense against Jiri Prochazka, who previously vacated the title due to injury.
