That’s because the rising newcomer Jiri Prochazka impressed in each of his two UFC wins. After becoming a bloodsport superstar in Japan, Prochazka annihilated Volkan Oezdemir in his first UFC match, and then KO’d Dominick Reyes with a spinning elbow that established him as a title contender. Both Prochazka and Teixeira made weight earlier this week, so we won’t have a repeat of UFC 274’s drama. So, of course, everyone’s looking at this fight with a familiar lens. Teixeira is the wily veteran grappler who is trying to prove that his title win wasn’t a fluke, while Prochazka is a striker’s striker. 14 years his opponent’s junior, Prochazka is only entering the octagon for the third time, and has a reputation to keep. He may very well leave the night as the first fighter from the Czech Republic to take a UFC title. UFC Women’s Flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko is looking to set a new record while she defends her title. She’s entering the PPV with six consecutive title defenses, which is the most by a female champion. Except she shares this achievement with one Ronda Rousey, who is off in the land of pro wrestling. As of Saturday morning, the odds have stayed the same: DraftKings (opens in new tab) has Prochazka as a favorite at -200 (wager $200 to win $100), and Teixeira at +170 (wager $100 to win $170). Shevchenko is an overwhelming favorite to win at -630 (over Santos’ +450). Here’s everything you need to know about UFC 275 live streams, including the recent changes to the main card and prelims.
