Teixeira: "Prohazka is a real warrior, but now is my time"

Glover Teixeira

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Glover Teixeira commented on the fight with Jiri Prochazka, which will take place on the night of June 12 at UFC 275.

“I'm going to fall on Prochazka with all the arsenal I have. It will be a war, but I will remain a champion.

I'm looking forward to the fight. I respect him because he is a normal guy and a real warrior. He was a champion in his day (Prochaska held the Rizin title in 2019) and won a lot of fights against young, strong guys. It's incredible.

The victories over Santos and Smith were especially impressive - these guys were in their best shape, and he proved that he is a champion-level fighter. But now is my time, I have to go into the cage and stick to my strategy. I will show how much I have improved since my last fight,” Teixeira said in an interview with the UFC.
