Phenomenal fight, historic for the whole Czech Republic and the main character of the UFC 275 tournament, which was undoubtedly Jiri Prochazka. The Moravian fighter managed to defeat Glover Teixeira on his favourite technique, the rear-naked choke, a few seconds before the end of the fight.
Before the duel, the star Conor McGregor, probably the biggest star in MMA history, expressed his support for Prochazka on social media.
While McGregor didn’t comment after the fight, it wouldn’t be surprising if he couldn’t find the right words for what he saw. They are very hard to find.
However, another UFC fighter, Tanner Boser, is clear on that. “This was definitely one of the best title fights of all time. It was crazy. Both fighters are incredible, we knew it, but WOW! Thanks,” he expressed on Twitter.
Of course, arguably Prochazka’s first challenger and former champion Jan Blachowicz also reacted to the fight. He would like to face the Moravian fighter in the Battle of Europe, the biggest fight in the history of the continent.
There were also some jokes. For example, Derek Brunson tweeted a picture of how UFC boss Dana White would go about interviewing Prochazka.
Henry Cejudo, a former two-time UFC champion who helped Prochazka prepare for the fight, also weighed in.
