Prochazka switched stations as the bout began as he looked for openings, but it was the champion who scored beforehand before getting the fight to the mat in the alternate nanosecond of the fight. On the mat, Teixeira fired off strikes and moved into side control as Prochazka tried to get back to his bases. With a little over two twinkles left, the rival got his want, but moments latterly, he was back on the mat, this time with Teixeira in the mount position. The follow-up strikes were knocking, forcing Prochazka to give up his back, but he made it to his bases and fired off a series of ground strikes that were inversely damaging before the round ended.
The rival looked comfortable as round two commenced, and he’d succeed with various striking attacks. In the alternate nanosecond, a right hand jarred Teixeira and urged a brace of hopeless takedown attempts. Prochazka defended well and kept the assault coming. Still, out of nowhere, Teixeira put Prochazka down on the mat, and now the Brazilian needed to turn on the offense, which he did with a series of elbows that cut Prochazka over the left eye right before the cornucopia sounded.
Prochazka defended Teixeira’s first takedown attempt of round three and again had success with his unorthodox striking. Most especially, a short left-wing that jarred the champion. But when it looked like Prochazka was going to pull down, Teixeira got a takedown two twinkles in. This time, Prochazka got back to his bases snappily and landed a hard body shot on his crippled foe, and moments latterly, he was disburdening strikes on the predicated Teixeira. However, the champion refused to back down, and with under a nanosecond left, it was Teixeira on top and landing the shots.
After some back and forth striking from the two 205- pounders to start the fourth, Teixeira took Prochazka down in the alternate nanosecond and went to work, getting into the mount just before the interior point. Teixeira also looked for an arm-triangle choke doubly. After Prochazka got free, he got into the top position. Still, it was Teixeira getting his opponent’s back compactly before another change in position, leaving Prochazka in control at the cornucopia.
A right hand by Teixeira stunned and nearly stopped Prochazka in the final round, but a posterior guillotine choke attempt saw the rival slip out and get his head back as they grappled on the mat. Once standing, Prochazka fired off shots, but Teixeira got the better of the exchanges, landing another big right interior through the frame before getting another takedown. In the full amount, Teixeira appeared to be in complete control, but it was Prochazka escaping formerly more, and out of nowhere, he sunk in a reverse naked choke that forced a valve out at 432 of the fifth round. Wow.
With the palm, the 29- time-old Prochazka moves to 29-3-1. The 42- time-old Teixeira falls to 33- 8. At the time of the cessation, Teixeira led on two scorecards, 39- 37, and 38- 37, with the third scorecard reading 38- 38 heading into the final round
