‘People forget that I also have lots of KO wins’ - Glover Teixeira vows to ‘beat up’ Jiri Prochazka

Just a couple of days away from his first title defense, light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira has one of the most dangerous contenders in the division ahead of him. Jiri Prochazka is expected to bring one of the most unpredictable styles and some of the most fearsome knockout power into the fight, but the Brazilian sounds confident that he’ll show why he’s the champ.

In an interview with Ag Fight, Glover made sure to remind fans and pundits that he’s got plenty of his own credentials as a knockout artist. Even though Teixeira’s has only one win via strikes in the past six years, the 42-year-old vows to give ‘Denisa’ a hard time on the feet right from the start.
