Even though he is in the midst of a later-career resurgence with a six-bout winning streak, light heavyweight champ Glover Teixeira is an underdog against Jiri Prochazka in the UFC 275 main event.
Whether that’s betting odds or a recent poll on the Sherdog website, the MMA world seems to expect Prochazka to emerge from Saturday’s fight with the light heavyweight belt in tow. Some 19 months after facing the champion in a UFC on ESPN 17 headliner that featured knockdowns from both fighters before Teixeira emerged with a submission win in Round 3, Thiago Santos envisions a similar ending at UFC 275.
