June 11. It is on this day that the prestigious UFC organization will learn the name of an old-new or new lightweight champion at the UFC 275 tournament. The title belt is in the hands of Brazilian veteran Glover Teixeira, who will face Jiří Procházek, who is thirteen years younger.
While Teixeira has been with the UFC for more than a decade and has fought a number of battles, Procházka peeked into the Wrestling League only two years ago. “Everyone says if it’s not too early for Jiří, he has two matches in the UFC. But when I see the boys beating them, they definitely deserve it, “Teixeira said at a news conference.

“Jiří is young, people like his style. He is a new generation wrestler, he is a great asset to our division and it is definitely a big challenge. He has a completely different style of fighting, he takes risks in matches, but I do that too. I am happy to be able to defend against him. But first he will have to beat me, I am ready to defend my belt, “continued the native of Sao Paulo.
Procházka also has respect for his opponent, who is also aware that he must be dominant in the match. “I’m glad my opponent is Glover. His style gave me the opportunity to prepare much better. With all due respect, I have to show the dominant performance on the ground, not like the other wrestlers who just fought back. This is not my way of fighting, I am constantly attacking, I am constantly trying to be in dominant positions, “describes the Czech beating.
He also improved his earthmoving skills at the camp of star Henry Cejud, which brought the appropriate charge to the demanding training. “I have had to change some things since the last match. For example, I was camping with Henry Cejud, where I sawed the ground and wrestling. Everyone says they know my strengths and weaknesses. That is why I am constantly working on them and learning various dangerous techniques, “described the Procházka preparation process.

The title match will take place at the UFC 275 tournament in Singapore, which will be the first numbered tournament in history. “I don’t care where I fight, whether it’s in Rio, America or Japan. It’s just important for me to fight and win, “added the former RIZIN champion.
