Dmitriy Kel Feb. 10, 2022, 6 a.m.

UFC light heavyweight contender Jiri Prochazka shared his expectations from the fight with the champion Glover Teixeira, which will be held May 7 at UFC 274.

“I feel great and very happy about it. As soon as I came to the UFC, I immediately stated that I wanted to fight for the championship title, and here I am.

Of course, I did not expect Teixeira to be my opponent. Thought I was going to fight some of the guys who were at the top at the time. This proves that you can achieve what you want if you cope with difficulties, ”Prochazka is quoted by The All Stars.

UFC 274 is expected to take place in Teixeira's homeland, Brazil.
