Two underdogs on the main card have received the majority of the tickets and dollars in their respective clashes. Parlays has been a much different story, as Shevchenko has been the most popular leg by far for UFC 275. The biggest favorite on the card comes in the co-main event, which is another showdown for a title belt. So I’m not sure she’s deserving of a title shot right now. “Part of why Teixeira is an underdog here is his age, and also how he won the title,” said Brandon Yaeger, Lead UFC Trader at Caesars Sportsbook. “A lot of people really weren’t sold on his performance, and looking back at Teixeira’s performances before winning the title, he was kinda getting caught with some punches in a lot of those fights. I think a lot of that factors into the line.”

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.

A pair of titles will be on the line in Singapore as champions Glover Teixeira and Valentina Shevchenko headline UFC 275. Cageside Press has its picks set.

Emeev is 5-2 in the Octagon and most recently had a split decision loss to Dany Roberts. Della Maddelana was picked by three writers to four for Emeev. Taila Santos takes her shot tonight, winning four in a row after a split decision loss in her debut. Prochazka, a former RIZIN champion, has knocked out former title challengers Volkan Oezdemir and Dominick Reyes in his two appearances in the Octagon. All but one writer picked the challenger Prochazka.

Old school meets new school in the UFC 275 headliner as Jiri Prochazka will try to take away the light heavyweight championship from Glover Teixeira in an.

Last time, it was Weili's ability to mix things up with her takedown attempts and her power that were the difference. But Prochazka has the potential to once again give the division a star. The problem for Santos is that Shevchenko has skills wherever the fight takes place. They combined to land 351 significant strikes in an all-out donnybrook that saw Weili take the split decision. They still might not hold up to their predecessor on the card. Since he left to pursue the heavyweight title, Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira have held the title. Santos has made her mark on a division that's been run by Shevchenko for nearly four years. He has just two UFC fights to his name, but he's made the most of them. His rivalries with the likes of Daniel Cormier, Rashad Evans and Alexander Gustafsson made the division interesting and gave it a dominant champion. He'll look to add Teixeira to that reel. Teixeira took the long route to becoming a UFC champion. Shevchenko will look to continue her reign of dominance against a new contender in Santos.

Can Glover Teixeira keep his fairy tale championship run going against Jiri Prochazka? Will Valentina Shevchenko make Taila Santos the next name on her hit ...

In the end, he’ll get a rare decision win and a ton of valuable experience. Della Maddalena has only once fought past the second round and it’s the bouts that go the distance that will give us a better gauge of where he stands in the loaded welterweight division. It’s going to be a standup battle, it’s going to have us on the edge of our seats, and there’s probably going to be some judging controversy after the eye-popping striking numbers are tallied. I did this for Jessica Andrade (I wasn’t the only one) and Lauren Murphy (I was one of the only ones) and I’m doing it again for Santos. Della Maddalena’s boxing is the first thing that jumps out at you when you watch the tape. When the fight breaks down into an all-out scrap, will Matthews default to his training or can he find that extra gear to push through Fialho’s power punching and answer with primal force? That said, Santos is going to give her a fight, possibly the toughest test she’s faced since winning the title. He has a huge speed and athleticism edge in the standup, so Teixiera will have to counter with fundamental boxing technique and guile to avoid a KO blow. Plus, anytime one fighter’s grappling defense is a question mark, I’m always going to favor the power of jiu-jitsu. Her first fight with Zhang Weili took an incalculable physical and mental toll on both women and while Zhang looked better in her second fight with Rose Namajunas, I have to wonder if she’s ever allowed herself time to truly recover. I’m in agreement with what UFC President Dana White said earlier this week: If Shevchenko runs through Santos like she has everyone else, I’ll be impressed and she should be allowed to fight for whatever title she wants. Should Teixeira get within grabbing range, the challenger should do everything in his power to create separation and reset in striking distance.

Glover Teixeira's title victory was one of the feel good stories of 2022, but he will need to hold off both a younger challenger and Father Time once again ...

While a UFC title victory would be a career changing moment for Prochazka, he has admitted himself that he will need to approach his battle with Teixeira differently. The challenger will need to take a more disciplined approach and pick his spots to engage with Teixeira on the feet as to leave less openings to be taken down and let the champion wear him down. After going 4-4 between 2014 and 2017, it appeared for a time that his run may not be destined to end with a UFC title. Of course, he made them count as his promotional debut in 2020 saw him stop former title challenger Volkan Oezdemir in the second round. While Teixeira had put together a five fight win-streak to return to title contention, most still expected the knockout power and experience of champion Jan Blachowicz to give him plenty to deal with. “The Natural” needed all 25 minutes to win the belt back that night, but to many that fight ended then and there.

With a win, the 34-year-old would pass Ronda Rousey for the most successful title defenses ever in one division among UFC women's champions. "Denisa" is the former light heavyweight champion of Japan's Rizin Fighting Federation promotion.

Fialho was highlighted by White as one of his ones to watch, given his battle-ready nature. I want to be a businesswoman. "I'm turning 35 this year (in August). I want to be a mom. The Pole said later: "She surprised me with the backfist... I just watched the moment, and what opportunities (there were) before me." The UFC staged four fight night events in Singapore from 2014 to 2019, drawing just under 22,000 in total. The event lived up to its billing. I appreciate you all. Santos, 28, kept her head up though and said: "I'm still young... I didn't expect Weili was going to be that tough, that good." The bell is still ringing in my head. And what a show it was.

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.

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.

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.

The UFC staged four Fight Night events in Singapore from 2014 to 2019 - which took place with a more traditional evening timing - and drew just under 22,000 spectators in total. If you look back on the previous (Fight Night) events, the cards were not as attractive. We will get right to work next week to try and make that a reality." "I hope the UFC brings another PPV event to Singapore when it comes back, and not a Fight Night event. So it opted to switch to the PPV format for the Lion City and lined up two title fights.

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.

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.

Former UFC women's strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk says it's "time for the second generation" after retiring from mixed martial arts following UFC ...

A future Hall of Famer, she continues to hold the record for the most title defenses in the strawweight division. I always wanted to be remembered as one of the greatest, and I will,” explained Jedrzejczyk. “I’m just a girl from the hood, JJ from the hood. Asked to sum up her career in one word, Jedrzejczyk paused for a moment, trying to find the right one. I was born to be UFC champion, and I was,” Jedrzejczyk said following UFC 275, where her comeback attempt was foiled in a rematch with Weili Zhang. And she’s holding her head high despite a tough loss in her final fight inside the octagon. Sometimes I was in this super crazy, difficult position and I thought that there was not going to be any help, but there was.

Prochazka beat Teixeira with a rear-naked choke in the fifth round to win the light heavyweight title.

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.
