Glover Teixeira vs. Jiri Prochazka preview, how to watch UFC 275
A UFC Light Heavyweight Championship rematch is the main event of this Saturday night’s UFC 275 PPV event in Singapore.
New titleholder Glover Teixeira will return to the cage following his spectacular submission victory against Jan Blachowicz in October last year. The 42-year-old champion is now on a six-fight win streak and is undefeated since 2018.
The challenger in Singapore this weekend is Jiri Prochazka, a talented light heavyweight fighter who has been impressive with two devastating knockout wins so far in the UFC. The former RIZIN light heavyweight champion has earned his UFC title shot after just those two fights in the promotion.

Teixeira vs. Prochazka isn’t the only title fight taking place this weekend. Valentina Shevchenko will defend her UFC Women’s Flyweight Championship when she meets fast-rising Taila Santos in the co-main event. That bout is scheduled for five rounds, as well.
