Teixeira praised Procházka after the defeat! He’s damn smart on the ground, he said
Glover Teixeira almost had the win over Jiří Procházka in his pocket, but in the end the Czech fighter finished him on a rear naked choke with less than half a minute to go. What did the Brazilian veteran say about his opponent after the fight?
Glover Teixeira almost had the win over Jiří Procházka in his pocket, but in the end the Czech fighter finished him on a rear naked choke with less than half a minute to go. What did the Brazilian veteran say about his opponent after the fight?
Jiri Prochazka’s bout with Glover Teixera had everything that a real fight should have. The tension was palpable and both earned the bonus for the fight of the night.
Lucky only Procházka, who was down on points but managed to defeat Teixeira on a rear naked choke with less than half a minute left in the match.
“It was hard to keep the kid down. He’s damn handy on the ground. I gave it my all. I’m either going to live with the sword or die under it. I’m not going to make any excuses, but I’ve had a lot of hard knockdowns.
But I’m not even going to talk about it, George just hit me several times to the body, and it just took the wind out of my sails. To be honest, I was just about done. What’s next? Did I look bad? Then I’ll move on,” he said after the defeat.
So what’s next? That is a question whose answer will be unspoken for some time. Glover wants a rematch, and although Prochazka probably wouldn’t mind, it doesn’t look too likely yet.
Or at least not right away, because Jan Blachowicz is waiting for his chance and the Czech-Polish fight is interesting both for the fans and for the organization.
