Main Event: UFC Light Heavyweight Championship
The #2 light heavyweight contender Prochazka became the new UFC champion after a stunning fifth round finish of Teixeira. The title bout was a back-and-forth gruelling and bloody affair wherein each survived massive onslaughts and created amazing reversals.
Prochazka's time came when he was able to wrap on a rear naked choke and get the tap with just few seconds left for the bout.
After the bout, Prochazkar said, "I knew that I would be the champion before the fight, but I never imagined that Glover would be so tough. He showed an amazing performance. But in the hard moments, I will do whatever it takes to win. It's a big satisfaction. I don't think I've realized it yet."
Co-main Event: UFC Women’s Flyweight Championship
UFC world women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko took on No. 4 Taila Santos and faced a massive challenge from her grappling acumen. Santos insisted on taking the fight to the ground, and Valentina scrapped more furiously than any previous defense.
After five rounds, Shevchenko was awarded the split decision and said, "It feels good. I left my heart and soul inside the Octagon. This is what defines a true champion - we fight until the end, we never give up. Now, I have a lot of options to choose about who I want to fight next."
Zhang Weili vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk 2
China's first UFC world champion, No. 1 ranked strawweight Weili made her dominance prominent in her rematch with former UFC world strawweight champion Jedrzejczyk. In the highly anticipated bout, Weili delivered "3.0" as promised with a new strong wrestling game and a spinning backfist KO in the second round.
After the bout, Weili said, "That was natural, it's something I have trained because I want to be a well-rounded fighter. Joanna is the flag-bearer for this division, I've watched her and I've chased her, that's the objective of mixed martial arts. I learned a lot from my two losses, I think that's the path for a champion."
