Headlining UFC 275 in Singapore is the light heavyweight title bout between Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka. It was veteran smarts and proven experience from Teixeira vs the youth and dynamic striking of Prochazka.

Both men had their moments and flashed what they’ve been known for. Teixeira survived getting rocked various times to get on top, while Prochazka got very very wild that contributed to an insane back and forth match up.

In the fifth round after countless wild exchanges, Jiri got a rear naked choke without hooks out of nowhere that finished the fight. He finished Teixeira and is now the new light heavyweight champion.
