It’s official! Walk will go for the UFC title against Glover Teixeira in May

Jiri Prochazka will go for the title in the famous UFC! The fight has been officially confirmed, he will face Glover Teixeira at UFC 274 on May 7. The tournament should take place in Brazil, which is the reigning champion’s home country, but it all depends on the coronavirus situation.

A huge success for Czech MMA. Jiri Prochazka will fight for the UFC welterweight title against veteran Glover Teixeira.

This fight has been expected for quite some time, but it was only officially confirmed on Saturday, it will take place at UFC 274 on May 7.

It was supposed to take place in Brazil, but it’s possible it could be moved due to coronavirus measures in the country. This won’t be the only title fight at the event, though.

In fact, Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje will also be in attendance, so it’s possible that Prochazek’s fight won’t be the highlight of the night, but merely the main preliminary bout.

Jan Blachowicz, the Polish fighter who held the title for a long time but lost it in his fight with Teixeira, also commented on the fight.

He says he is rooting for him as he would like to fight him again and take the belt from him. But if Prochazka wins and his next opponent is the Pole, we could see their fight in Europe.
