<p id="n4msBp">UFC flyweight contender Taila Santos believes reigning 125-pound champion Valentina Shevchenko escaped Singapore Indoor Stadium with a gift from the cageside judges, leading to a <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/12/23163975/ufc-275-full-fight-video-highlights-valentina-shevchenko-vs-taila-santos-results-mma-espn-ppv">split decision victory</a> and what appears to be an extended vacation.</p>

<p>The winner of Prochazka-Teixeira 2 will likely defend the strap against the winner of <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/10/11/23399863/jan-blachowicz-vs-magomed-ankalaev-added-to-ufc-282-in-december-mma">this light heavyweight title eliminator</a>.</p> <p id="VFhVE9">Jiri Prochazka will make his first light heavyweight title defense against the man he stripped of the strap, Glover Teixeira, at the upcoming UFC 282 pay-per-view (PPV) event, recently made official for Sat., Dec. 10, 2022 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.</p>
<p id="VpmPyz">That’s according to <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnMorgan_MMA/status/1580595783924973571">John Morgan</a>.</p>
<p id="dXHdWX">Prochazka (29-3-1) captured the crown with a thrilling, fifth-round submission finish over the well-traveled Brazilian in the UFC 275 headliner last June. The victory pushed “Denisa” to 3-0 under the UFC banner with three finishes.</p>

<p id="AT0Qhw">The fact that UFC has not yet committed to a main or co-main event for a fight the magnitude of Prochazka vs. Teixeira 2, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/1580597266116902912">Ariel Helwani</a>, is an indication that something much bigger may still be in the works for UFC 282, the last PPV of 2022.</p>

<p id="VCmUiP">Taila Santos’ next fight may be coming outside the Octagon rather than inside it.</p>
<p id="zXlNvD">Recently reported by <a href="https://omunicipioblumenau.com.br/lutadora-ufc-e-acusada-de-aplicar-golpe-em-tecnico-de-blumenau-e-outros-profissionais-de-sc/">O Município de Blumenau</a> and followed up on by <a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/8/9/23298046/ufc-contender-taila-santos-sued-coaches-manager-responds-false-accusations-mma">MMA Fighting</a>, the last Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s Flyweight title challenger is being faced with accusations of having not paid two former coaches, one of which was also her manager, after her three last fights.</p>
<p id="Z6PDN5">Among the names accusing Santos is former head coach and manager, Marcelo Brigadeiro, who is also known for training the likes of top Strawweight contender, Marina Rodriguez. Brigadeiro claims that he never received his coach and manager percentages following Santos’ bouts against Roxanne Modafferi, Joanne Wood and Valentina Shevchenko. Santos left Brigadeiro’s gym more than one year ago and he intends on filing a lawsuit against the Flyweight.</p>
<aside id="HEoLwn"><div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"Santos Reflects On Shevchenko Fight: ‘After I Fought Her, I Could See She’s Not All That’","url":"https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/15/23170333/taila-santos-reflects-on-valentina-shevchenko-fight-ufc"}]}'></div></aside><p id="cy4PHj">Marcio Malko also coached alongside Brigadeiro for these previous three bouts. In his case, he’s already filed a lawsuit, but is only claiming he wasn’t paid after the Shevchenko title fight that took place at UFC 285 in June 2022. Per MMA Fighting, Malko’s lawsuit asks for 20 percent of Santos’ pay. From the Shevchenko bout, Santos’ received a flat purse of $150,000, and $32,000 from the “Athlete Outfitting Policy,” which would result in a total of $36,400 for Malko.</p>
<p id="YQmXL3">The suit filed by Malko comprises 297 pages along with a letter attributed to Santos and her team. Santos alleges the deal she was under was “abusive” — which she also claimed as the case with Brigadeiro — and states that she was persuaded into agreement because of an “unstable financial situation.” Santos allegedly offered to pay $5,200 rather than the entire sum Malko expected to receive.</p>
<p id="oZt6hH">Santos has already filed a lawsuit of her own toward the former MTK Global representative, Brigadeiro. Filed in Dec. 2021, Santos’s suit claims she, “couldn’t even read [the contract] or keep copies of it,” and was unable to understand how, “abusive and illegal the clauses of the contract were” because of her lack of proper education. Brigadeiro was also accused of trying to get her matched with another MTK Global fighter and turned down a replacement unbeknownst to her. Santos seeks R$24,724 ($4,820).</p>
<aside id="WeUhVW"><div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"Shevchenko Laughs Off Claims She Was Exposed Against Santos","url":"https://www.mmamania.com/2022/7/20/23272041/valentina-shevchenko-laughs-off-claims-was-exposed-against-taila-santos-they-feel-sad-in-life-ufc"}]}'></div></aside><p id="HOLG88">Pedro Barbosa Farias, the husband and coach of Santos, is also tied into the mess as his brother, Patricio, says Santos didn’t fulfill a verbal training deal post-working with Malko, leaving him with a R$15,000 debt ($2,935). Patricio expected to receive three percent of “the upcoming purses and eventual sponsorship deals, along with reimbursement for expenses after moving to a different city, but wasn’t paid after three months.”</p>
<p id="nfQhTN">Santos claims these to be “false accusations” and Patricio is unable to pay for a lawyer in pursuit of justice, according to MMA Fighting. He has, however, gone to the police, putting in a report for embezzlement against the couple.</p>
<p id="uYO1FK">As for her fighting career, Santos remains on the sideline after her closely fought split decision loss to Shevchenko (<a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/12/23163975/ufc-275-full-fight-video-highlights-valentina-shevchenko-vs-taila-santos-results-mma-espn-ppv">watch highlights</a>), and just recently opted to decline <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/13/23165732/taila-santos-suffered-broken-orbital-headed-surgery-after-valentina-shevchenko-loss-ufc-275-mma">surgery on her orbital bone</a> that was broken in the fight.</p>

<p id="fITURV">Unfortunately for Carla Esparza, she’ll never get redemption against Joanna Jedrzejczyk.</p>
<p id="1tSFGz">At UFC 275 earlier this month (June 11, 2022), the legendary Polish striker called it a career after a tough second round knockout loss (<a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/11/23163977/ufc-275-full-fight-video-highlights-zhang-weili-vs-joanna-jedrzejczyk-2-espn-ppv-knockout-retire">watch highlights</a>) to Zhang Weili in a rematch of their epic instant classic in March 2020 (<a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2020/3/8/21169341/ufc-248-full-fight-video-highlights-adesanya-romero-joanna-results-zhang-espn-mma">watch highlights</a>). Going into the bout, UFC President, Dana White, declared that the winner was next in line for the champion, Esparza.</p>
<aside id="6sH0Zr"><div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"Esparza ‘Could Care Less’ What Zhang Wants, Fight Will Happen When It ‘Makes Sense’","url":"https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/20/23176186/carla-esparza-could-care-less-what-zhang-weili-wants-fight-will-happen-when-it-makes-sense-ufc"}]}'></div></aside><p id="RAZTGk">“I don’t think I was really that surprised,” Esparza told <a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2022/06/joanna-jedrzejczyk-retirement-no-surprise-carla-esparza">MMA Junkie</a> of Jedrzejczyk’s retirement. “If someone’s gonna sit out for two years and be on somewhat of a losing streak, although she has fought the highest competition, I think for her, just judging on what I always heard her say, she wants to be the best, she wants to be a champion. With losing that fight, I think it was gonna be a far road back, and I can see why she walked away from it.”</p>
<p id="eK16zY">Jedrzejczyk was the first — and only — to challenge Esparza during her first title run in early 2015. Fresh off winning the inaugural title through <em>The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 20</em>, Esparza met the buzzsaw that was Jedrzejczyk, dropping the title via a second round technical knockout in <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2015/3/15/8216505/ufc-185-results-recap-carla-esparza-vs-joanna-jedrzejczyk-fight-review-analysis-mmma">one of the most lopsided championship showings</a> in mixed martial arts (MMA) history.</p>
<p id="5cZrKb">Since then, the two clearly went in opposite directions with Esparza once again champion and Jedrzejczyk departing on the heels of two consecutive Zhang defeats.</p>

It just kind of comes with being in the sport this many years. I’ve kind of accepted you’re not always gonna get that rematch chance. I would’ve loved to have had that opportunity because I feel that I’ve grown so much as a fighter. But I’m happy for her and for her journey from here on out.”</p>

<p id="dL1Wl3">Glover Teixeira is beginning his quest for redemption.</p>
<p id="iHOFS0">At UFC 275 in Kallang, Singapore, two weekends ago (Sat., June 11, 2022), fans were treated to one of the greatest Light Heavyweight title bouts of all time as Teixeira looked to make a successful first title defense opposite Czech Republic’s Jiri Prochazka. Leading on the scorecards as the rollercoaster ride of a fight wound down on the clock (<a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/12/23164371/pic-glover-teixeira-vs-jiri-prochazka-official-ufc-275-scorecard-results-mma-espn-ppv-singapore">see them here</a>), Prochazka slipped out of a bad position and locked in a rear-naked choke submission to force the tap and earn the title (<a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/12/23163973/ufc-275-full-fight-video-highlights-glover-teixeira-vs-jiri-prochazka-results-espn-ppv-submission">watch highlights</a>).</p>
<p id="QKw2UR">Originally, there was a discussion about the possibility of the fight taking place in Teixeira’s home country of Brazil. This never materialized, however, and now that Prochazka is the first Czech UFC champion, an eventual title fight in his home country makes sense — so why not for the immediate rematch?</p>
<aside id="w6SXFV"><div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"Prochazka Not Happy With ‘Horrible Performance’ At UFC 275","url":"https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/12/23164811/jiri-prochazka-not-happy-with-his-ufc-275-title-win-its-full-of-blood-and-its-not-beautiful"}]}'></div></aside><p id="TeNlpj">“Why not?” Teixeira told <a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/6/23/23175545/glover-teixeira-rematch-samurai-jiri-prochazka-czech-republic-ufc">MMA Fighting</a> regarding a second Prochazka match-up. “I was going to fight him in Brazil, [so] we can go after the belt wherever it is. I went to defend it in Singapore. I could have said, ‘No, the first time was going to be in Brazil.’ Sadly, it didn’t work out. [But] we’ll go after this belt wherever, whatever it takes.</p>
<p id="8atwcI">“He’s a warrior, a guy that comes forward,” he continued. “I knew he had the heart of a samurai, of a winner, who fought until the end and never gave up. He didn’t give up on the battle and managed to win. In terms of performance, I’m also upset with what happened. I had the perfect performance, was winning the fight and winning well, and I’m sad with the mistake I made. That’s why we have to do it again. It’s time to run it back. He has to realize that’s the fight everybody wants to see right now. Those who missed the first one will watch it now.”</p>
<p id="6ftNrx">Albeit briefly, Teixeira understands the spoils of being champion and knows that a rematch for a fight as good as the first with Prochazka sells itself. If UFC will see it that way is another story, and UFC President, Dana White, already said before the fight that the winner of the upcoming Magomed Ankalaev vs. Anthony Smith fight <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/8/23160527/magomed-ankalaev-vs-anthony-smith-winner-expected-next-ufc-title-challenger-at-light-heavyweight">could very well be next in line</a>.</p>

I really want this rematch [to happen], but I don’t want to have to talk [crap] for it. Many people get lost trying to do it.”</p>
<p id="cwqHM7">Before the bout with Prochazka, Teixeira admittedly liked the idea of defending the belt and then defending one final time in Nov. 2022 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/5/18/23126208/glover-teixeira-targets-retirement-after-two-2022-wins-wants-to-stay-cool-unlike-henry-cejudo-mma">retiring afterward</a>. With plans having obviously changed, a similar idea sounds nice to Teixeira as he hopes to win back the title, defend, and <em>maybe </em>retire.</p>
<p id="qthbdZ">But, as of right now, he isn’t thinking about directly retiring at all.</p>

<p id="hQowJo">Glover Teixeira wasn’t feeling too great the day before one of the biggest fights of his career.</p>
<p id="2S5mtA">Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returned to Asia for its first pay-per-view (PPV) on the continent in Kallang, Singapore, two weeks ago (June 11, 2022). In UFC 275’s main event, Light Heavyweight champion, Glover Teixeira, sought his first title defense against Czech Republic’s Jiri Prochazka.</p>
<p id="jNxdjh">With the event taking place in the location it did, timings of general procedures were altered, including the start of the action. UFC 275 kicked off at the usual evening time of 7 p.m. ET in the United States, but for the athletes, it was 7 a.m. local time.</p>
<aside id="BO6A3s"><div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"Pic: Prochazka Shaves War Hair Following UFC 275 Title Win","url":"https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/17/23173242/pic-jiri-prochazka-shaves-head-following-ufc-275-title-win-teixeira-mma-hair"}]}'></div></aside><p id="f0qdxm">Weigh-ins are typically done in the mornings these days, too, starting promptly at 9 a.m. ET and ending at 11 a.m. ET. However, that also wasn’t the case in Singapore ... and Teixeira felt the effects of the change.</p>
<p id="cHKbTZ">“I had a recovery that ... I waited six hours because I hit the weight before,” Teixeira told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpjTuo1AE9E">AG Fight</a>. “Because of that thing of hitting the weight until 6:30. So I hit the weight earlier because it’s that thing ... some will say, ‘Why did you hit it so early?’ But f—k it, will you go all day without eating? You’re home with that anxiety, damn it, dying to eat. So you think, ‘Let’s hit this weight soon.’ You never know, maybe it will take a little longer. So we always really hit the weight early. The problem is that I weighed [at] 6:30, trained [at] 9:30 and I think that ... I don’t know, man.</p>
<p id="UGExAH">“I went a long time without recovering,” he continued. “I’ve never felt bad like that, you know? So I started to rehydrate by drinking water. It’s not actually water, it’s a drink that the P.I. (Performance Institute) gives us for recovery. And right after drinking, like 10 minutes later, I did an interview with ESPN. With [Michael] Bisping and [Daniel] Cormier. Right after that, when I went to talk to [my wife] Evelyn, I got up and felt like throwing up. So I sat down and even Evelyn said, ‘Oh, Glover. Go get some rest, you’re not well.’ Then I went, but after that, I threw up on the bus. But I hadn’t eaten anything, just drank. My stomach wasn’t accepting it, man. So it took me a while to recover. With all that stuff, it took me a while to recover.”</p>

The next day, he was back to feeling 100 percent.</p>
<p id="tComXp">“It may have influenced [the result of the fight],” Teixeira said. “I’m not saying it was that, just telling you what happened, right?”</p>
<p id="61qZg8">Prochazka became UFC’s new 205-pound champion at UFC 275 after a back-and-forth classic. Down on all three judges’ scorecards, “Denisa” found a late Hail Mary rear-naked choke submission to force the tap within the very last minute of the war (<a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/12/23163973/ufc-275-full-fight-video-highlights-glover-teixeira-vs-jiri-prochazka-results-espn-ppv-submission">watch highlights</a>).</p>

<p>Think there’s no correlation between robots and masks? <a href="https://youtu.be/P4QghULoUfE?t=42">Think again!</a></p> <p id="Nmxe83">Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, who now works as both <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2022/6/7/23157875/joe-rogan-replaced-michael-bisping-ahead-ufc-275-mma">analyst and commentator</a> for the world’s preeminent MMA organization, was recently on location in Singapore for the UFC 275 pay-per-view (PPV) event.</p>
<p id="gB6GvF">Singapore still has an indoor mask policy to help combat the spread of coronavirus. That means visitors and residents alike are required to be under the cloth at all times, except when actively eating or drinking.</p>

<p id="Jh9t8c">“There’s a lot of robots around, believe or not. I got accosted by a couple of robots for not wearing a mask,” Bisping said on <a href="https://youtu.be/YuicvwX6aiQ">his official podcast</a> (transcribed by <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-michael-bisping-says-accosted-robot-singapore-wearing-mask">Jacek Okninski</a>). “I told it to go fuck itself. At breakfast in the hotel, because you’re supposed to have a mask on indoors, but you can take it off when you’re eating, I just got up to grab something and I got accosted by a robot. Big smiley face and told me to put my mask on. Fuck off, I’m having a coffee. Leave me alone. And they come around and take the trays away at breakfast as well. It is a little creepy.”</p>
<p id="iKNxdF">Not as creepy as <a href="https://youtu.be/zCZY9Z6WvSY?t=77">Gene Simmons and his spider-bots</a>.</p>
<p id="ceDkc3">Bisping, along with fellow retired ex-champion Daniel Cormier, typically fills in for longtime color commentator Joe Rogan when the promotion holds PPV events overseas. Expect to see one or both of them again for UFC 281 this October in Abu Dhabi.</p>
