Jiri Prochazka submitted Glover Teixeira in the final round at UFC 275 to become the new light-heavyweight champion.
Teixeira wasted no time in taking Procazhka to the ground as the fight got underway. The Brazilian worked for submissions and landed heavy ground and pound from full mount. Prochazka had a better second round and was able to show off his diverse striking on the feet.
A nasty elbow from Teixeira had Prochazka going into the third round as a bloody mess. Prochazka was getting the better of Teixieira on the feet but was also holding his own in the grappling exchanges. The pair continued to go and back forth in the final round, but Prochazka managed to take Teixeira's back with just over 30-seconds left and tap him out with a rear-naked choke.
