Glover Teixeira had an epic fight against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 275 on Saturday. The Brazilian had a war against the Czech fighter and had to survive some very scary moments before ultimately getting submitted in the last round.

As it turns out, Glover Teixeira had another fight before the main event of UFC 274. The former champion was actually having big problems with his weight cut and was throwing up the night before the fight.

“Even though it was nine-thirty at night, I cut the weight at 3:00 in the afternoon and stayed until nine-thirty at night without drinking water, without anything,” Teixeira told Combate in a recent interview after UFC 275 (h/t Sportskeeda). “And then when I started to recover, I started to vomit, I started to vomit … I felt like vomiting, I couldn’t do the interview after the weigh-in and that got in the way, got in the way in the fifth round there. I always talk to my students, ‘The weight cut will get in your way, if it’s a tough five-round fight, it will get in your way’ And it got in the way. I think that was it … I’ve never had a recovery like this.”

“The fight was brutal, I got tired, as I told you, I don’t want to blame my camp, I can do the fight again, and I can get tired again,” the former UFC champion said. “I want you to expose this part, I want to take away all responsibility, because the camp is everything, if I didn’t lose the weight right, he did better than me, you know? If I didn’t lose the weight properly, it was my fault, that’s what I’m talking about, that I have to adjust, so it was totally my fault. I might be blaming it on the weight. I’m blaming the weight, but I’m taking responsibility for myself, understand?”
