Prochazka and Teixeira first fought in June at UFC 275. The five-round fight was a riveting “Fight of the Year” contest. Prochazka won with a back-and-forth choke submission.
Prochazka referred to the performance as one of his worst. Teixeira admitted that he made a mistake initiating the grappling contest which led to his defeat.
In most betting lines, the incumbent champ is around a -200 favorite to retain the belt.
