If he beats Craig, maybe he gets a second shot at the title. Let’s re-state the obvious, not a fan of automatic rematches. Emeev is 0-2 in his last two however and 2-3 in his last five. Glover Teixeira had a rough night at UFC 275. Santos lost, so she needs to earn her next shot. So who should he fight next?

The UFC is returning to Singapore for the first time since Oct. 26, 2019, when UFC Fight Night: Maia vs. Shevchenko will be looking to make her seventh title defense while Santos enters the bout with a 19-1 record. For the light heavyweight strap, both the champion Glover Teixeira and the challenger Jiri Prochazka successfully made weight at 205 ahead of their title bout. A flyweight fight scheduled for the UFC 275 main card between Manel Kape and Rogerio Bontorin was canceled on Friday after Bontorin was hospitalized due to kidney issues from weight cutting.

Weili Zhang did not leave it to the judges at UFC 275, stopping Joanna Jedrzejczyk with a spinning back fist to win their highly anticipated rematch.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Zhang fired a spinning back fist— and Jedrzejczyk hit the canvas! They continued to trade, and a massive “Weili” chant broke out at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. China’s Zhang fired a kick to the body. The Polish fighter was trapped against the fence, eating punches; she got back to her feet, but Zhang showed more of her newly honed wrestling skills, getting the fight down again. Lots of top time from Zhang; when they got up again, Jedrzejczyk appeared to nearly get the upper hand, but Zhang got her back down. It did, though it was a very different fight — one that didn’t require the full three rounds afforded to it. One of the most hotly anticipated rematches in years started off with Jedrzejczyk on the outside, using lateral movement, while Zhang tried to cut her off.
Zhang and Jedrzejczyk picked off right where they left off in what many crowned as 2020's Fight of the Year.
Jedrzejczyk stepped in and Zhang clobbered her with a spinning backfist. Jedrzejczyk face planted and Zhang walked away, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Jedrzejczyk shucked off a takedown attempt from Zhang but ate a stiff one-two combination. Jedrzejczyk rejected the idea and scrambled to freedom. The Chinese powerhouse scored multiple takedowns and punished Jedrzejczyk with ground-and-pound. Zhang wrapped up Jedrzejczyk against the fence and mauled her with strikes.
Zhang Weili came out on top of another action-packed slugfest versus Joanna Jedrzejczyk, this time with a wild knockout.

Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka topped off a memorable night at UFC 275, which saw a legend retire, and another given her toughest test to date.
When the fight rolled around, she got out to an early lead, care of her strength and grappling ability. The second-round KO floored Poland’s Jedrzejczyk, who had not fought in two years — and who announced her retirement after the bout. A live stream is available in the embed above.
One title changed hands while a second was barely retained. Who gets the next shot? Brett Okamoto plays matchmaker after UFC 275.
And the next contender will be the winner of this fight in August. It's a defensible position to say the UFC should run this back, but I don't think it'll happen. Teixeira said in the Octagon he would like to keep going, and he certainly is capable of doing so. Rodriguez is deserving of a title shot, frankly; she's just not as deserving as Zhang. I think this is a great option for Teixeira. And again, it has nothing to do with his ability. You have to be elite to beat Chookagian at flyweight right now, and Santos just proved -- even in a loss -- that she is. Zhang just put a massive exclamation mark on this rivalry with Jedrzejczyk. Zhang has never looked better, and she sported some outstanding wrestling on Saturday. Her decision-making and creativity -- it's all there. That fight ended when Rakic suffered a leg injury, but the victory still goes on Blachowicz's record -- and that record looks good, as he has won six of his past seven bouts. With under a minute left in the fifth round of the main event at UFC 275 in Singapore, Glover Teixeira looked like he was about to put it on cruise control for a decision win. The other champion in the night heard ... "and still!" He also showed a lot of heart and championship grit in Saturday's victory. After the bout, Jedrzejczyk placed her gloves on the mat and retired from the sport.

Teixeira shot again and Prochazka tried to roll back to his feet but Teixeira landed in mount. Prochazka was able to quickly get back to his feet and landed a good combination of elbows and punches to the head before drilling Teixeira to the body with a huge punch. Shevchenko landed a big head kick but it came after a kick to the groin. With the fight seemingly in the balance, Teixeira put the fight on the ground and seemed to be fully in control until Prochazka was able to kick off the cage and reverse the position. Prochazka was able to explode back to his feet and immediately went on the attack. Teixeira mixed punches and elbows to the face as Prochazka tried to wall walk but allowed Teixeira to take his back in the process. Prochazka was left with a massive cut over his left eye from big Teixeira strikes from mount, but every time Teixeira appeared to have grabbed control, Prochazka would find a way out of trouble and back to his feet. Teixeira shot for a takedown out of desperation and fought on well but the body work clearly took a toll. The narrative entering the UFC 275 main event between light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira and top challenger Jiri Prochazka was that Prochazka needed to do everything in his power to stay off the ground if he wanted to become champion. Prochazka chose to get back to the feet and started to pump the jab. Prochazka managed to get to the back and locked in a rear-naked choke and Teixeira tapped out with 30 seconds left in the fight! Teixeira landed a lot of heavy shots on the feet again and drove Prochazka back to the cage looking for a takedown but Prochazka broke away.

"That's got to be worth 50K, Dana," she said with a smile and a hand gesture. The battle went to the perimeter of the cage soon after, and it was there where Della Maddalena landed a hard left hook to Emeev’s right side that instantly crumpled him to his knees. "I clearly understand the sacrifice of cutting weight and the intentions of being physically prepared," he said. “Walking down, I saw my Perth guys, and it gave me the energy to come in and knock this guy out,” said the winner, who’d referred to the bout going in as his " Dagestani wrestler test." "I'm definitely coming for the championship, but it's step by step, and I'll take my time." "I was very, very calm and relaxed," she said. "I was prepared for a tough fight, and I'm so sorry I let you down. And second, she wanted that win to get her back into the title picture in a weight class she'd ruled from 2015 to 2017. and we invite you to scroll through, see what we came up with and drop a viewpoint or two of your own in the comments. Indeed, Santos set the tone in the opening round when the fight went to the floor after a failed Shevchenko throw. And moments later, as she spoke to Cormier, she announced her retirement as an active fighter after 10 years as a professional. I expected to grapple and strike, and she was very strong.”
Former UFC women's strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk announced her retirement in the Octagon following her knockout loss to Weili Zhang at UFC 275.
Jedrzejczyk (16-5) held the UFC women's strawweight title from 2015 to 2017, a span of five successful title defenses, which is still the most in division history. I want to be a businesswoman. I want to be a mom.

The new champion also earned some star power with his style of fighting that leaves him in vulnerable positions.
The fact that Jedrzejczyk hadn't fought in two years seemed to catch up with her. Two of the three judges agreed that Shevchenko had won the second round, which opened the door for her to rally in the championship rounds by sweeping both on all three cards to steal the victory. The swing round in this case appeared to be Round 2 when Santos continued her success on the ground. Jedrzejczyk's five consecutive title defenses from 2015-17 remains the most successful reign in 115-pound history. Shevchenko, who briefly secured a triangle choke attempt on the ground, got the better of the standup that round and was also much busier offensively while her back was stuck to the ground. In just his third UFC fight, the 29-year-old native of the Czech Republic is now a champion. Either way, it's a fight fans won't soon forget as each warrior was willing to persevere through extreme damage and fatigue until an uncharacteristic mistake from Teixeira in Round 5 led to his heartbreaking defeat while ahead on two of three scorecards (with the third one even). This fight had a shocking ending similar to Anderson Silva-Chael Sonnen I yet was much sloppier and frenetic than most great title bouts as technique largely went out the window in this veritable street fight.

But it's the incredible intangibles he employed in rallying to victory that will keep them coming back to the turnstiles to watch him compete. Meanwhile, in the co-main event, women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko was forced to rally and hang on for a disputed split-decision win against Taila Santos. From an action standpoint alone, Prochazka's submission win with just 28 seconds to go in the final round easily belongs alongside Jon Jones-Alexander Gustafsson I, Zhang-Jedrzejczyk I and Frankie Edgar-Gray Maynard II as the best championship tilts in the 29 years UFC has been in business. Thanks to his willingness to so often go against the grain of what is considered the orthodox norm in this sport, it's very likely no one will.

Juarez used a blistering combination to knock out Na Liang early in their strawweight, putting herself in the UFC win column for the first time with a thrilling highlight. An absolutely thrilling affair from start to finish, Prochazka vs. UFC 275 called for more than that, though.

Pros react to Joanna Jędrzejczyk leaving her gloves in the Octagon and retiring after losing her UFC 275 bout against Zhang Weili.
Jędrzejczyk began her professional MMA career in 2012 with SFT, winning her first bout by decision. Jędrzejczyk’s impact on UFC, women’s combat sports, and the MMA as a whole is immeasurable, and her career paved the way for many women who are fighting today to have a platform. She would not lose her first MMA bout until 2017 when Rose Namajunas finished her on the ground, ending both her fourteen-fight win streak and her impressive run with the UFC strawweight strap.
Jiří Procházka made Glover Teixeira tap out. In the process, he becomes the new light heavyweight champion.
Shevchenko quickly worked her way back to her feet, then executed a takedown of her own, finishing the fight in a dominant position. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Teixeira dropped Procházka with a left hook, and he held Procházka down for the remainder of the round. Incredibly, Teixeira took shots to the face and body in order to set up the takedown. Since then, Weili lost consecutive bouts to Rose Namajunas. This will be Jędrzejczyk’s first fight since the loss to Weili. And with new women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparza seeking fresh opponents, this is a bout with significant consequences for Weili and Jędrzejczyk. That was the case until Procházka locked in a rear naked choke in the fifth round. Santos took Shevchenko’s back in the opening round after a scramble, which is an unfamiliar sight. The victory puts Weili back into a title bout for the strawweight title, as well as marked the end of Jędrzejczyk’s career. That was the case until Procházka locked in a rear naked choke in the fifth round. Teixeira landed a takedown with a single leg just over a minute into the first round. The victory puts Weili back into a title bout for the strawweight title, as well as marked the end of Jędrzejczyk’s career. Shevchenko withstood a physical challenge from Taila Santos, who used her strength and grappling to put a legitimate scare into the champ.

I want to be a businesswoman. I want to be a mom. Moments earlier, Shevchenko (23-3) was tested from the opening round by Santos, who won four straight fights to earn her first UFC title shot. The Chinese veteran left no doubt the second time, ending the bout with the spectacular spinning strike that ended it. Both fighters were bleeding from cuts in the third round, and Procházka also wobbled Teixeira in the middle rounds before his dramatic finish. Procházka survived nearly five rounds of consistent punishment from the 42-year-old Teixeira, who became a first-time UFC champion at 205lbs late last year.
Despite entertaining the masses, Jiri Prochazka is not happy with his effort in claiming the title from Glover Teixeira at UFC 275.

She's going to be favored to beat Carla Esparza when they square off and if she reclaims the belt, she could be one of those stories of a champion who got the belt, lost it, learned from it, and goes on to have a long title reign. She was favored to beat Joanna Jedrzejczyk. But just how good she looked -- it was fun to watch and it's good for the 115-pound division. It was not a robbery, but the judge who scored it for Santos was not outright wrong. She's always been one of the most physical athletes at 115 pounds, but she's added timing and technique to that physicality on the grappling side. About that toughness: Although the finish was a disappointment for Teixeira, especially the way it went down and at what time it went down, he can be proud of his short reign. I thought Jedrzejczyk was very motivated and fought at more or less the level at which she has her entire career. He absorbed everything his challenger dealt out, even when it appeared the end was near, and he was in control in the final minute. He would still be the champ if he rode it out to the horn. Santos still managed to gut it out until the end, even getting solid offense in with one eye. The champ appeared on the verge of a decision win when Prochazka reversed position and secured just the third submission of his 29-fight pro career. The new champ is 29 years old and could reign for a while. It took the 29-year-old Czech only two UFC appearances to earn a shot at the belt.
UFC president Dana White couldn't believe it when Jiri Prochazka submitted Glover Teixeira late in the fifth round.
No way. No way. No f*cking way!
Former strawweight champion calls it a career following knockout loss in Singapore.

Not only did he accomplish that goal, but he secured a TKO in the first round after surviving an early scare courtesy of Emeev’s slick submission attempt. Jedrzejczyk’s run as a dominant UFC strawweight champion was instrumental in helping the women’s side of the sport flourish, and the Polish fighter absolutely deserves all the praise she’s getting right now for her body of work. The Brazilian pushed “Bullet,” but the more I reflect and view the fight back, the more I convince myself that we’ve been so accustomed to seeing Shevchenko hardly break a sweat that the mere sight of her in bad spots makes us think the situation was worse than it was. Or in the case of Jedrzejczyk, she went out face down after getting rocked with a highlight-reel shot. If Teixeira had kept punching in the moment, it’s reasonable to believe he’d still have the belt in his possession, but that’s the cruel element of this sport and also a reason why we love it so much. But I sit here the day after the fight feeling quite unbothered that Shevchenko is still champ. MMA fights are not scored on what-ifs, though, and the judges have to score what’s legitimately happening. In the span of just three UFC fights, Prochazka has firmly established himself as one of the most exciting fighters on the roster. It was an outstanding finish to an instant classic fight, and Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) showed his mettle by overcoming some true adversity to net the second latest title-fight stoppage in UFC history. The same potentially could be said if Santos didn’t catch an accidental head butt that broke her orbital bone. This result is going to be nightmare fuel for the Brazilian. He went through hell against Glover Teixeira and somehow found a way to win by securing a rear-naked choke with just 28 seconds left in Round 5.
The UFC 275 fan bonuses have been announced, and Valentina Shevchenko takes home the biggest award despite a very close fight with Taila Santos.
The remaining two Fan Bonuses at UFC 275 went to new light heavyweight champ Jiri Prochazka, and the victorious Weili Zhang. They pocket $20,000 and $10,000 in crypto, respectively. But thanks in part to an accidental clash of heads that hampered Santos’ vision, Shevchenko was able to battle back, doing enough in the final two rounds to get the nod on two of three scorecards.
