One of the best fights of 2022 is expected to get an immediate sequel.
MMA Fighting's Guilherme Cruz reported on Thursday that UFC light heavyweight champion, Jiri Prochazka and former champ, Glover Teixeira have verbally agreed to a rematch at a yet-to-be-announced UFC 282 event on December 10, but the promotion has yet to officially confirm anything regarding the booking or event. The pair's first meeting at UFC 275 back in June ended up being a fight of the year candidate with Prochazka ultimately defeating Teixeira via a fifth-round submission win.
