Glover Teixeira-Jiri Prochazka Title Bout Rescheduled for UFC 275 in June

The light heavyweight title clash between Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka will take place a little bit later than originally anticipated.

The bout, which was originally scheduled for UFC 274 on May 7, will now happen at UFC 275 in June. An exact date and location for UFC 275 have not been announced and the reason for the shift is currently unknown. ESPN confirmed the new date after Teixeira initially discussed the change in an interview with Brazilian outlet Canal Combate.

The 42-year-old Teixiera is currently in the midst of a late-career resurgence that has seen him compile a six-fight winning streak dating back to Jan.
