- Procházka stops Teixeira to win UFC light heavyweight title
- Valentina Shevchenko keeps flyweight title by split decision
- Joanna Jedrzejczyk retires after stoppage loss to Zhang Weili
Jiri Procházka stopped Glover Teixeira by submission with 28 seconds left in the fifth round to claim the UFC light heavyweight title in a grueling bout at UFC 275 on Sunday.
Procházka survived nearly five rounds of consistent punishment from the 42-year-old Teixeira, who became a first-time UFC champion at 205lbs late last year. After a back-and-forth fight that left both men cut and bleeding, the Czech challenger got into position to execute a choke that ended one of the most compelling title bouts in recent UFC history.
