Every minute of the light heavyweight title fight between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira felt like a rollercoaster.
Prochazka would be in control and then Teixeira would land a crazy strike. Teixeira would be in control, then Prochazka would flip the position. Back and forth they went for nearly the entire fight. Bloodied and exhausted with less than a minute to go, Prochazka was able to get to a dominant position and sink in a rear-naked choke with just 28 seconds left.
It was a stunning finish to an all-time great slugfest. Had it gone to the judges’ scorecards, it’s likely that Teixeira would have retained his light heavyweight belt, but Prochazka’s will to seek and get the finish took the belt from the Brazilian. It was an epic fight that had everyone losing their minds.
