UFC 275

Can Glover Teixeira keep his fairy tale championship run going against Jiri Prochazka? Will Valentina Shevchenko make Taila Santos the next name on her hit ...

In the end, he’ll get a rare decision win and a ton of valuable experience. Della Maddalena has only once fought past the second round and it’s the bouts that go the distance that will give us a better gauge of where he stands in the loaded welterweight division. It’s going to be a standup battle, it’s going to have us on the edge of our seats, and there’s probably going to be some judging controversy after the eye-popping striking numbers are tallied. I did this for Jessica Andrade (I wasn’t the only one) and Lauren Murphy (I was one of the only ones) and I’m doing it again for Santos. Della Maddalena’s boxing is the first thing that jumps out at you when you watch the tape. When the fight breaks down into an all-out scrap, will Matthews default to his training or can he find that extra gear to push through Fialho’s power punching and answer with primal force? That said, Santos is going to give her a fight, possibly the toughest test she’s faced since winning the title. He has a huge speed and athleticism edge in the standup, so Teixiera will have to counter with fundamental boxing technique and guile to avoid a KO blow. Plus, anytime one fighter’s grappling defense is a question mark, I’m always going to favor the power of jiu-jitsu. Her first fight with Zhang Weili took an incalculable physical and mental toll on both women and while Zhang looked better in her second fight with Rose Namajunas, I have to wonder if she’s ever allowed herself time to truly recover. I’m in agreement with what UFC President Dana White said earlier this week: If Shevchenko runs through Santos like she has everyone else, I’ll be impressed and she should be allowed to fight for whatever title she wants. Should Teixeira get within grabbing range, the challenger should do everything in his power to create separation and reset in striking distance.

Valentina Shevchenko is "as close as you can get to a perfect fighter, but nobody's perfect." So says the women's flyweight champion's UFC 275 opponent ...

“I’ve been the underdog in most of my fights in the UFC, and that’s a good thing. “That’s basically the strategy, it’s been put around those flaws that we found, and that’s what I’m going to impose on Saturday.” “When you come into a fight in a video game, there’s two bars there, 100% stamina on both sides.

On the other hand, Na is now on a two-fight losing streak and will most likely be fighting for her job next time out. An overhand from Na landed, and then a few seconds later, Na shot for a takedown which Juarez defended. Meanwhile, Juarez had lost two straight after arriving in the UFC on a three-fight win streak.

Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka topped off a memorable night at UFC 275, which saw a legend retire, and another given her toughest test to date.

When the fight rolled around, she got out to an early lead, care of her strength and grappling ability. The second-round KO floored Poland’s Jedrzejczyk, who had not fought in two years — and who announced her retirement after the bout. A live stream is available in the embed above.

WE GOT A FIGHT🔥🔥🔥— 🦅MaddMaxx🦅 (@CrosbyMaxx) #UFC275 June 12, 2022 The main card begins at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN+ PPV following preliminary bouts at 8 p.m. ET. The UFC returns to pay-per-view on Saturday night with two championship matchups. Teixeira, 42, and his suffocating submissions collide with Prochazka, 29, and his devastating knockout power. It all goes down from Kallang, Singapore on Saturday night.

Weili Zhang did not leave it to the judges at UFC 275, stopping Joanna Jedrzejczyk with a spinning back fist to win their highly anticipated rematch.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Zhang fired a spinning back fist— and Jedrzejczyk hit the canvas! They continued to trade, and a massive “Weili” chant broke out at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. China’s Zhang fired a kick to the body. The Polish fighter was trapped against the fence, eating punches; she got back to her feet, but Zhang showed more of her newly honed wrestling skills, getting the fight down again. Lots of top time from Zhang; when they got up again, Jedrzejczyk appeared to nearly get the upper hand, but Zhang got her back down. It did, though it was a very different fight — one that didn’t require the full three rounds afforded to it. One of the most hotly anticipated rematches in years started off with Jedrzejczyk on the outside, using lateral movement, while Zhang tried to cut her off.

Zhang and Jedrzejczyk picked off right where they left off in what many crowned as 2020's Fight of the Year.

Jedrzejczyk stepped in and Zhang clobbered her with a spinning backfist. Jedrzejczyk face planted and Zhang walked away, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Jedrzejczyk shucked off a takedown attempt from Zhang but ate a stiff one-two combination. Jedrzejczyk rejected the idea and scrambled to freedom. The Chinese powerhouse scored multiple takedowns and punished Jedrzejczyk with ground-and-pound. Zhang wrapped up Jedrzejczyk against the fence and mauled her with strikes.

Valentina Shevchenko and Taila Santos went the distance in their UFC 275 co-main event, in what turned out to be a very close affair.

Santos had a body triangle in place, and got under the chin! Off the restart, Shevchenko landed a throw, had a headlock in place, but Santos rolled through and wound up on top, in guard. She’d finish the round in Shevchenko’s guard — and there was a good chance Taila Santos was up on the scorecards after two rounds. A big takedown followed for Santos. She transitioned to the back, but was high up, and had to be careful not to come off the top. She ripped a kick to the body, and fired a superman punch. Shevchenko had a whizzer in place, defending, and Santos fired knees to the thigh. The action was halted just seconds into the third, after Santos started the frame without her mouth guard. That left Santos with her back to the fence, and Shevchenko found room to land some knees. Shevchenko fanned on a front kick to open round two, and missed on a spinning kick as well. Santos went hunting for a neck crank or rear-naked choke, while the champ fought hands and fired punches back at Santos, doing a fair amount of damage given the angle. That missed; Santos closed the distance for a takedown, but Shevchenko reversed. Santos sat on the outside early as the UFC 275 co-main event got underway — but landed a counter after Shevchenko opened fire.

Zhang Weili came out on top of another action-packed slugfest versus Joanna Jedrzejczyk, this time with a wild knockout.

Former UFC women's strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk announced her retirement in the Octagon following her knockout loss to Weili Zhang at UFC 275.

Jedrzejczyk (16-5) held the UFC women's strawweight title from 2015 to 2017, a span of five successful title defenses, which is still the most in division history. I want to be a businesswoman. I want to be a mom.

Procházka stops Teixeira to win UFC light heavyweight title · Valentina Shevchenko keeps flyweight title by split decision · Joanna Jedrzejczyk retires after ...

I want to be a businesswoman. I want to be a mom. Moments earlier, Shevchenko (23-3) was tested from the opening round by Santos, who won four straight fights to earn her first UFC title shot. The Chinese veteran left no doubt the second time, ending the bout with the spectacular spinning strike that ended it. Both fighters were bleeding from cuts in the third round, and Procházka also wobbled Teixeira in the middle rounds before his dramatic finish. 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.

The new champion also earned some star power with his style of fighting that leaves him in vulnerable positions.

The fact that Jedrzejczyk hadn't fought in two years seemed to catch up with her. Two of the three judges agreed that Shevchenko had won the second round, which opened the door for her to rally in the championship rounds by sweeping both on all three cards to steal the victory. The swing round in this case appeared to be Round 2 when Santos continued her success on the ground. Jedrzejczyk's five consecutive title defenses from 2015-17 remains the most successful reign in 115-pound history. Shevchenko, who briefly secured a triangle choke attempt on the ground, got the better of the standup that round and was also much busier offensively while her back was stuck to the ground. In just his third UFC fight, the 29-year-old native of the Czech Republic is now a champion. Either way, it's a fight fans won't soon forget as each warrior was willing to persevere through extreme damage and fatigue until an uncharacteristic mistake from Teixeira in Round 5 led to his heartbreaking defeat while ahead on two of three scorecards (with the third one even). This fight had a shocking ending similar to Anderson Silva-Chael Sonnen I yet was much sloppier and frenetic than most great title bouts as technique largely went out the window in this veritable street fight. Subscribe to Morning Kombat with Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell for the best analysis and in-depth news, including instant analysis of UFC 275 at the conclusion of the PPV event. But it's the incredible intangibles he employed in rallying to victory that will keep them coming back to the turnstiles to watch him compete. Meanwhile, in the co-main event, women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko was forced to rally and hang on for a disputed split-decision win against Taila Santos. From an action standpoint alone, Prochazka's submission win with just 28 seconds to go in the final round easily belongs alongside Jon Jones-Alexander Gustafsson I, Zhang-Jedrzejczyk I and Frankie Edgar-Gray Maynard II as the best championship tilts in the 29 years UFC has been in business. Thanks to his willingness to so often go against the grain of what is considered the orthodox norm in this sport, it's very likely no one will.

"That's got to be worth 50K, Dana," she said with a smile and a hand gesture. The battle went to the perimeter of the cage soon after, and it was there where Della Maddalena landed a hard left hook to Emeev’s right side that instantly crumpled him to his knees. "I clearly understand the sacrifice of cutting weight and the intentions of being physically prepared," he said. “Walking down, I saw my Perth guys, and it gave me the energy to come in and knock this guy out,” said the winner, who’d referred to the bout going in as his " Dagestani wrestler test." "I'm definitely coming for the championship, but it's step by step, and I'll take my time." "I was very, very calm and relaxed," she said. "I was prepared for a tough fight, and I'm so sorry I let you down. And second, she wanted that win to get her back into the title picture in a weight class she'd ruled from 2015 to 2017. and we invite you to scroll through, see what we came up with and drop a viewpoint or two of your own in the comments. Indeed, Santos set the tone in the opening round when the fight went to the floor after a failed Shevchenko throw. And moments later, as she spoke to Cormier, she announced her retirement as an active fighter after 10 years as a professional. I expected to grapple and strike, and she was very strong.”

Glover Teixeira unloaded a huge right hand to blast Jiri Prochazka early in the fifth round and it looked like a few more shots would have kept the light ...

Santos was arguably up three rounds to zero with the help of a takedown in the first and third frames, where she also cinched in a body triangle. Still, Santos snuck in a late takedown in the round, paving the way for the final five minutes. Prochazka took the side and worked his way to cinching in a rear-naked choke, which Teixeira tapped to, crowning the new champ. However, Teixeira immediately went for a guillotine instead of a striking finish and Prochazka escaped the attempt easily. One judge gave the nod to Santos, 48-47. That means he was only 28 seconds away from retaining the title had he not tapped out.

Prochazka beat Teixeira with a rear-naked choke in the fifth round to win the light heavyweight title.

“Glover is a true warrior. He has won 13 straight bouts. It was Prochazka’s first victory by submission in UFC and his first since 2014.
