UFC light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira's first title defense against Jiri Prochazka has been moved from UFC 274 on May 7 to UFC 275 on June 11.
Combate's Evy Rodrigues was the first to report the news of the bout being rescheduled, with Prochazka himself also confirming the date switch via a tweet posted to his official Twitter account. Teixeira is currently on a six-fight winning streak and is coming off of a second-round submission win over former champ, Jan Blachowicz, back at UFC 267. Prochazka on the other hand is riding a 12 fight winning streak of his own and is 2-0 in his two Octagon outings, most recently defeating Dominick Reyes via a second-round knockout at UFC Vegas 25.
