The fight was truly a back-and-forth war and many fans are comparing the action to Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson 1. Wherever this fight eventually ranks in the minds of fans, it will certainly go down as one of the best title fights that the light heavyweight division has ever seen.
Glover Teixeira was on his way to defend his belt for the first time, however, the Brazilian lost the plot with just seconds left in the fight. However, despite the defeat, he is far from discouraged and is keen to keep going and mount yet another career comeback.

“He tappped! No Way! No fu**ing way! Jiri fu**ing tapped him. No way. What a fu**ing fight. What an absolute fu**ing war man.”
Dana White is usually present for all UFC pay-per-view events, however, he decided to sit out UFC 275 to celebrate his son’s 21’s birthday. However, the bossman simply couldn’t miss the epic clash between Prochazka and Teixeira that is sure to be talked about for a while to come.
Jiri Prochazka is now in line to defend his new belt against Jan Blachowicz, who was in attendance at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Additionally, Glover Teixeira has also called for a rematch after his defeat, indicating that Prochazka is not short of options.
