Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s latest pay-per-view offering
is set as all
UFC 275 participants successfully made weight in Singapore.
The card is headlined by two title fights with Glover

Jiri
Prochazka getting top billing. In the co-main event, UFC
flyweight queen Valentina
Shevchenko will look to put away another challenger in the 19-1
Taila
Santos. A pound-for-pound talent, Shevchenko (22-3) enters on
an eight-fight win streak.

On a surprising career-best run at 42, Teixeira (33-7) most
recently submitted Jan
Blachowicz to claim the title. The Brazilian is on a six-fight
win streak that has seen him make comebacks in several of the bouts
after being in danger, further proving his veteran savvy and
toughness. Teixeira will look to prove his recent success isn’t a
fluke by defending his championship. The champion officially
weighed 205 pounds on the dot.
Prochazka has received a title fight after just two UFC bouts,
which speaks to his impressive start inside the Octagon. “Denisa”
knocked out Volkan
Oezdemir in his promotional debut and then knocked Dominick
Reyes out with a gorgeous spinning back elbow to clinch this
opportunity. At just 29, Prochazka (28-3-1) looks to be the future
of the division. The Czech fighter also weighed 205 pounds.
