'I'll do it differently is I won't click': Glover Teixeira on Prochazka rematch

Ag Fight, as described in Bloody Elbow. “Won’t be submitted. That game let me down, so the preparation (for the rematch) is the same. Of course, we’ll make some adjustments because he should also come back better. But that’s about it. If the fight went the same way, I’d focus on not falling into any traps. Really careless. Fifth round, I won. No one expected to submit there. Really careless.”

The Brazilian has been in the sport for over two decades, was Chuck Liddell’s sparring partner and entered the fight against Prochazka in arguably the best player form of his career , he himself has only been beaten once in the best part of the decade.

Teixeira said the game plan for the first time was to use all available weapons as a mixed martial artist, putting the Czech star on the back burner throughout the process – but added that Prochazka’s defensive acumen proved to be a little tougher than he expected .

“I’m going to have to, to really focus,” Teixeira said of the rematch. “My goal is to bring the belt home. The game plan is to beat him once per round and win that way. Prochazka is a great ground fighter. He has shown great defense and that will happen in On both of us. It might be better next time, who knows?”
