Rematch with Procházka in the Czech Republic? Why not! I don’t care where it will be and what it will cost me, said Teixeira
Much has been written about the possible rematch between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira. It doesn’t look very realistic, but the Brazilian is still trying to make it happen. Now he even said that their fight could take place in the Czech Republic.
Much has been written about the possible rematch between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira. It doesn’t look too realistic in the near future, but the Brazilian is still trying to make it happen. Now he has even said that their fight could take place in the Czech Republic.
Glover Teixeira praised Jiri Prochazka after the fight, even though he had the fight almost won. That’s also why he immediately talked about a rematch, but that’s almost certainly not on the agenda.
Other fighters are also asking for a chance, and if Teixeira wants to fight for the title again, he’ll have to fight someone else before that.
Now he’s even talked about the fact that he wouldn’t have a problem fighting in the Czech Republic to give Prochazka a home environment.
“Why not? We were originally supposed to fight for the title in Brazil, but we can fight for it anywhere. I went to Singapore with him. Also, I could have easily said I wanted my first defence in Brazil, but it didn’t work out. But I definitely want a title fight and I don’t care where it is and what it costs. I’ll do anything..
Dana White will have to look into it. Because the fans are demanding a rematch. But I put on a great performance the whole fight and basically only lost one round.
I dominated the fifth. And Jiri is not happy with his performance. We can do it again. We’ll see who is the best, because I know he still has it in his head,“ said Teixeira.
However, their early match in Prague is completely unrealistic. The UFC already has tournaments scheduled, although still unannounced, the Czech Republic is certainly not on it.
Moreover, it’s questionable whether they would even want to put such a fight in the Czech Republic. Either way, Prochazka’s defense will not be in the Czech Republic and probably not with this experienced Brazilian.
