Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for champs Jiri Prochazka, Valentina Shevchenko after UFC 275?

(ALSO SEE: Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Glover Teixeira, Taila Santos after UFC 275 losses?)

The UFC’s first pay-per-view event in Singapore went down Saturday with UFC 275, and the two championship fights at the top of the bill saw one title change and one title defense.

In the main event, Jiri Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) outlasted Glover Teixeira (33-8 MMA, 16-6 UFC) in a Fight of the Year candidate to score a fifth-round submission and win the light heavyweight championship. The co-headliner, meanwhile, saw Valentina Shevchenko (23-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC) edge Taila Santos (19-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in a razor-thin split decision to defend her women’s flyweight strap for the fifth time.

Who should be next for both titleholders? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Prochazka and Shevchenko’s next moves after UFC 275.
