Glover Teixeira Says Jiri Prochazka’s Lengthy Winning Streak ‘Doesn’t Mean Much’

Jiri Prochazka will enter the UFC 275 main event with a 12-fight winning streak that includes 11 victories by knockout or technical knockout.

Since only two of those triumphs — Dominick Reyes and Volkan Oezdemir — have come within the Las Vegas-based promotion, reigning light heayvweight champion Glover Teixeira is not especially impressed with the achievement. When Teixeira initially challenged for 205-pound gold, he took a 20-bout professional winning streak into his matchup with Jon Jones at UFC 172. He would go on to lose a clear-cut unanimous decision to “Bones,” and it would be more than seven years before he reached the top of the mountain in the division.
