Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Glover Teixeira spoke about the victory of his ward Alexa Pereira in a fight for the vacant belt in this division against Jiri Prochazki.

Let us remind you that on November 12 at the UFC 295 tournament, Pereira defeated Prochazka by technical knockout in the second round.

“The result of the battle was great. I'm very happy for my friend. He worked very hard. At the beginning of the second round I thought: “Oh, buddy, when are you going to get the ball in your hands.” The point is that he didn't land his punches fast enough. At that moment, thoughts were spinning in my head: “Either he lures his opponent into a trap, or he will be knocked out.”
