Jiri Prochazka vs. Glover Teixeira 2 on tap for UFC 282 in December

Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira have verbally agreed to a rematch for UFC 282, MMA Fighting confirmed on Thursday.

The pay-per-view, scheduled for Dec. 10, will likely take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, although a venue has yet to be confirmed.

The two previously fought at the Singapore Stadium in Kallang, Singapore in a fight that saw Prochazka get his hands raised after submitting then-light heavyweight titleholder Teixeira with a rear-naked choke in the fifth round. The win saw Prochazka, 29, become the UFC’s first-ever Czech champion.

Both fighters earned a $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus after duking it out for five rounds in one of the most entertaining light heavyweight title fights in UFC history.
