The stage was set on June 11th at the Singapore Indoor Stadium at Kallang as the two titans went toe to toe in the octagon. As soon as the match started, both warriors wasted no time dallying around and went straight at each other.

What followed was round after round of intense combat, with neither participant backing down or showing any signs of weakness throughout the match. Judges were split between the two, as both fighters displayed deadly skill, unbelievable strength and effective techniques.

When Technical Experience Collided With Lethal Resilience 

Glover Teixeira is definitely one of the oldest light heavyweight champions in UFC history and packs a ton of experience as a professional fighter. So, when this 42-year-old champion was matched up against the 29-year-old rising star, Jiri Prochazka, fans knew they were in for a treat.

Prochazka has enjoyed a steady rise to UFC fame over the past years, eventually bringing him to the limelight. Hailing from the Czech Republic, this professional mixed martial artist has an interesting background.

Life took a massive change for the better once he adopted the Bushido code and joined the UFC. Soon, he would face one of the greatest and most experienced UFC champions in history, Glover Teixeira.

Since his move from Brazil to the United States, Teixeira soon found a passion for boxing. As he underwent rigorous and hardcore training to be a professional boxer, a video clip of UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie got him interested in mixed martial arts.

Texeira would go on to join the ranks of the UFC and gain an underground reputation amongst fans. He was seen as an urban legend and quickly gained infamy, leading him to the UFC light heavyweight championship.

On June 11th, 2022, Glover Teixeira defended that same championship title against Jiri Prochazka, a fight that sent shockwaves to UFC fans worldwide.

Jiri Prochazka Vs. Glover Teixeira; An Action-Packed Main Event

Fans have described this fight as one of the most action-packed and eventful fights in UFC history. As the referee started the match, what took place was a perfect example of cut-throat and brutal competition between two of UFC’s most iconic fighters.

The initial rounds saw Prochazka blast off on the offensive as he dished out blow after blow on the champ. Teixeira looked visibly overwhelmed by this string of attacks and had no choice but to go on the defensive.

Being the younger fighter and having a slight height advantage, Prochazka seemed to be taking the octagon by storm. Fans had predicted that the 29-year-old Samurai warrior would easily overcome all odds and give the champ a beatdown. And for a moment, it really looked like those predictions were about to come true.

Prochazka used his height and reach to his advantage and kept throwing out strike after strike in the hopes of securing a knockdown. His goal was to attack the champ head-on, so he unleashed all his fury in the hopes of dismantling his opponent early on.

On the other hand, Teixeira kept mainly on the defensive while managing to get a few shots of his own sporadically.

Just when it looked like Prochazka was going to breeze through this match, Teixeira hit him with a well-timed grapple, pinning the Samurai to the ground. Now, the 42-Year-old Brazilian was on top and had the upper hand.

Teixeira unleashed a horrific pummelling down onto the pinned Prochazka and had him completely stunned for what seemed like ages. It was clear now that the champ had a strategy in place and would not let his opponent get the better of him.

What followed soon was rounds and rounds of both fighters standing their ground and not giving an inch to the opponent. Both the champ and challenger were equally matched and had their moments throughout the fight.

Round 5, the crucial last seconds that made Prochazka a champion

The fifth round started just like the others, with both sides matching aggression with aggression. Prochazka kept maintaining his distance and got a few good shots from afar. Again, the extended reach and superior height would help the Samurai throughout the match.

Suddenly, there was a huge turning point when Teixeira hit his opponent with a huge combo, ending in a powerful right. This stunned Prochazka, who looked visibly hurt by the onslaught. Keeping the momentum going, the champ tried to hook Prochazka into a guillotine but was unsuccessful. Prochazka then managed to get on top and started doing some serious damage, but a butterfly move from the champ stopped the onslaught.

Both men were soon on their feet again, going toe to toe with each other, throwing a flurry of jabs, hooks, punches and kicks. This went back and forth for a while, with both men knocking each other down several times, only to make quick recoveries.  Finally, at 1:50, Prochazka made a powerful comeback and pummeled the champ with a series of shots, making him go prone. The Samurai took advantage of this crucial moment and hit his opponent with a well-timed rear-naked chokehold.

With just a few seconds left on the clock, Teixeira shocked the entire stadium by tapping out, ending one of the most adrenaline-packed title matches in UFC history.

The entire stadium roared with celebration as fans acknowledged Jiri Prochazka as the new UFC light heavyweight champion.
