Move over Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson? Maybe.
At UFC 275, Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixiera put on a fight for the ages when the two high-rate finishers battled it out for nearly five full rounds. The fight nearly reached the final horn, but Prochazka didn’t let it. He submitted Teixeira at 4:32 of Round 5.
The submission capped off an epic back-and-forth brawl, which saw both men in trouble at multiple points of the fight. For Prochazka, the finish earned him a win he likely would not have gotten otherwise, judges’ scorecards later revealed.
The fight was fantastic by all accounts, but just how good was it? Could it be the greatest in light heavyweight history? Or is recency bias getting the best of its most staunch supporters?
