Glover Teixeira calls for a fight with Jiri Prochazka after Jamahal Hill's loss to Alex Pereira. Teixeira sees this as an opportunity to challenge for the light heavyweight title once again.
Both headline acts have titles on the line as Islam Makhachev defends his UFC lightweight belt against Arman Tsarukyan at the top of the bill. Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili, who won the bantamweight title by defeating Sean O’Malley at UFC 306, defends his 135-pound strap for the first time against Russia’s undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov.
\Former UFC light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira says he's ready for a fight with Czech MMA star Jiri Prochazka, who is expected to make his return to the Octagon against former champion Jamahal Hill. Teixeira recently expressed his desire to face Prochazka after the Czech fighter's impressive performance against Alexander Gustafsson. 'It's not that I didn't know that, it's just that it was just a really, really painful reminder of that.' Hill emerged through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2019 and was the first fighter from the tournament to become a UFC champion. This was the first of many hurdles Hill was forced to overcome before he embarked on a three-fight win streak to earn a shot at UFC gold. UFC 300 was one of the White’s biggest events of all time, but Hill failed to jump at the opportunity under the lights with millions watching around the world. “I don’t like to make excuses, but was I 100 per cent where I needed to be as far as the injury goes?” Hill added, referring to his fight with Pereira. “I mean, anybody who’s had an Achilles surgery or knows anything about Achilles surgery, nine months isn’t ideal. “But ultimately, I took the fight. I banked on myself and went in there ready to fight. So, what happened, happened.”However, he was dethroned by Pereira five months later, and just like Hill, is coming off of a loss to the Brazilian after being “We’ve been on a collision course for some time now, and now it’s our time to meet and see who takes that next step forward,” Hill said, previewing his light heavyweight clash with Prochazka
