UFC 275 preview

Light-heavyweight champion Glover Teixeria makes the first defence of his belt against Jiri Prochazka in the main event at UFC 275.

Teixeira will step into the Octagon as the underdog for the fourth successive fight having defied the odds on three previous occasions, but it's unlikely he'll manage to pull off another shock against formidable striker Prochazka.

The Czech, a former Rizin light-heavyweight champion, has won his first two fights with the UFC in devastating fashion, securing two second-round knockout victories.

He's riding a 12-fight winning streak and the last ten have come by KO or TKO.

Teixeira's best route to victory relies on securing a takedown, but Prochazka has dealt with high-level wrestlers in the past, negating their takedown attempts, and he appears to have the tools to stop this contest inside two rounds.

The co-main sees another title up for grabs but it's tough to make an argument for the women's flyweight belt changing hands.

Champion Valentina Shevchenko is the number one women's pound-for-pound fighter and makes the seventh defence of her belt against Talia Santos.

Shevchenko has looked better with each of those defences and her last two victories over number three Jessica Andrade and number two Lauren Murphy have come via TKO.
