UFC 275 post-event facts: Glover Teixeira taps for first time in 20-year career

UFC 275 went down Saturday in Singapore and the 11-fight card will go in the books as one of the best events of the year.

The headlining act produced a historic result. Jiri Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) came out on the winning end of a brutal battle with Glover Teixeira (33-8 MMA, 16-6 UFC) to claim the light heavyweight title with a fifth-round submission.

In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko (23-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC) faced the toughest test of her women’s flyweight title reign. Brazilian challenger Taila Santos (19-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) pushed the champion to a split decision, but ultimately couldn’t claim the strap.
