Jiri Prochazka became the light heavyweight champion when he beat Glover Teixeira at UFC 275. The fight was a very exciting affair that saw both men have some very big moments that almost ended the fight.

Speaking at the UFC 275 post-fight press conference, Jiri Prochazka admitted he felt it was a ‘horrible' performance against Glover Teixeira. The Czech fighter wanted a dominant performance that proved he was the best light heavyweight in the world.

“From my side it was a horrible fight, horrible performance,” he said (ht MMA Junkie). “Honestly. You saw that fight. I just survived some moments. It’s my plan to be dominant and not just to be a survivor in there. For you it’s beautiful because you like to be entertained, but for a fighter, I like to fight clean.”

“I was a little bit lazy to set up some situations and to prepare him for the knockout, to watch in the striking,” Prochazka continued. “To see him, to see the moments, to see the right place, and catch it. That was my laziness in the fight.

“He didn’t surprise me with nothing. We knew all these things, and he was successful in there. So I have to work on that. Not just work on the training, but work on myself to stop doing things. I know where is the mistakes in my preparation, in my life, and what I have to change for the fight.”

The scorecards revealed after the main event of UFC 275 that Glover Teixeira was winning and would have kept his title if the fight went to the judges. Jiri Prochazka was able to get the huge submission with only a minute left.
