UFC 275 Results: Teixeira vs. Prochazka

UFC 275 at Singapore Indoor Stadium delivered a dramatic light heavyweight title change as Jiří Procházka submitted Glover Teixeira with 28 seconds remaining. The card aired on June 11, 2022, in the United States and took place on June 12 locally, with Valentina Shevchenko retaining her flyweight championship and Zhang Weili winning her rematch with Joanna Jędrzejczyk.

Procházka wins a championship battle

Teixeira’s takedowns, top control and submission threats repeatedly tested Procházka, while the challenger’s unpredictable striking created danger in return. Momentum shifted several times, and the champion still had a strong path to victory deep into the final round.

Procházka reversed the situation, reached Teixeira’s back and finished a rear-naked choke at 4:32 of round five. The result made him light heavyweight champion after an exhausting contest in which both men had opportunities to end the fight.

Shevchenko faces a serious challenge

Taila Santos made the women’s flyweight co-main event difficult through her grappling and back control. Shevchenko had to work through those positions and respond across the championship rounds, rather than enjoying the clear control seen in many earlier defenses.

Shevchenko won a split decision and retained the belt. The close result generated debate, but it was her seventh successful title defense and one of the most competitive fights of her championship run.

Zhang’s finish and Australian standouts

Zhang knocked Jędrzejczyk out with a spinning backfist at 2:28 of round two. Their first fight had lasted five rounds; the rematch ended sharply, and Jędrzejczyk announced her retirement afterward.

Jake Matthews knocked out André Fialho, and Jack Della Maddalena stopped Ramazan Emeev in the first round. Earlier, Maheshate and Silvana Gomez Juarez scored knockouts, while Josh Culibao, Brendan Allen, Kang Kyung-ho and Joselyne Edwards won decisions.
