UFC 275 will see Glover Teixeira and others look to rebound after their losses.
Glover Teixeira had a rough night at UFC 275. He was on course to retain the UFC Light Heavyweight title but didn’t explain Jiri Prochazka getting a second rare chokehold for the win. Teixeira was not done as a high-ranking man, and he made sure to mention that.
So who should fight next? Heck, who should everyone else fight next? This is a tough question, especially given the pool of talent to choose from. When it comes to Teixeria, we have to take into account his age, and what that means. He’s 42, he doesn’t have a lot of fights left but we know for sure we haven’t seen the last of it. So finding someone we can outgrow is crucial.
Someone we last saw is Joanna Jedrzejczyk. The WMMA legend describes it as a career and is turning away at the age of 35 to focus on becoming a mother and businesswoman, something that would be a bit difficult if she’s been training every day for months on end.
So let’s move on to reservation.
Matches lost by Glover Teixeira and others lost at UFC 275
Ramzan Emev vs. Andre Filho
Ramzan Emeev and Andre Fialho lost at UFC 275 by either TKO or KO. They both need to win, with Villaho needing a rebound win to prove he can stand up to more high-level competition, and Emeve to prove he’s not finished as a fighter. Filho is 2-2 in his last four games, which isn’t bad. Imev is 0-2 in his last two games and 2-3 in his last five. Emeve needs to win and it is better to try to win than Villaho.
Tila Santos vs. Catelyn Chukajian
Talia Santos had a brutal fight with the hero Valentina Shevchenko. While some thought Santos won, the judges disagree and that’s it. I’m not a fan of rematches, so we won’t be going back that way. Santos lost, so she needs to earn her next shot. Enter Catelyn Shukajian; A big competitor who wants another shot at Shevchenko. If you defeat the Chookagian Santos, give it another chance. If not, that’s it.
Glover Teixeira vs Paul Craig
Let’s paraphrase the obvious, not a fan of automatic rematches. Jan Blachovich didn’t get one, so why should Teixeira? The man has to put up a fight then that will excite the crowd, how about the man who is ranked in the light heavyweight category and who is almost as good as Teixeira on the ground; Paul Craig? Craig has never fought a fight, goes to the judges for whatever reason, wins or loses, and has 13 entries out of 16 fights. Let’s see what Teixeira can do against a good guy like him, in theory. If he beats Craig, he might get a second chance at the title.
