Glover Teixeira looks to keep his late-career renaissance alive at UFC 275.
The 42-year-old Teixeira—who is the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion—meets a ferocious challenger in Jiu0159í Procházka, who is explosive but untested on a stage this grand and an opponent as seasoned as Teixeira. Procházka (28–3–1) has won his only two UFC bouts, while Teixeira (33–7) has 21 fights in the Octagon. This marks Procházka’s opportunity to seize control of the division, while Teixeira intends to extend his unexpected championship run.
Another key matchup for UFC 275 is Valentina Shevchenko defending her flyweight title against Taila Santos.
