The UFC is set to bring a big fight card to Singapore on June 11. The card is headlined by a pair of championship bouts, with Glover Teixeira looking to defend his light heavyweight championship against Jiri Prochazka in the night's main event.
Teixeira will be making the first defense of the title he won
against Jan Blachowicz this past October. At 42 years old, Teixeira was the
oldest first-time champion in UFC history. Unlike Teixeira's decade-plus in the
UFC before becoming champ, Prochazka is looking to capture the belt in just his
third UFC bout after a pair of explosive knockouts to start his Octagon career.
Prochazka has won 10 consecutive fights by knockout.
In the co-main event, Taila Santos will challenge for the
women's flyweight championship against dominant titleholder Valentina
Shevchenko. No one other than Amanda Nunes has been able to beat Shevchenko in
the UFC and she is undefeated over her career at flyweight. Santos is the
seventh woman to challenge Shevchenko since she won the title in December 2018.
Santos enters the fight riding a four-fight winning streak.
