Glover Teixeira suggests a bad weight cut was responsible for his stoppage loss to Jiri Prochazka at UFC 275, revealing that he was vomiting backstage after making weight.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion doesn’t want to make excuses for his performance and takes full responsibility for the loss but admits the weight cut played a major role in his defeat.
Had he not been throwing up just hours before the fight, Teixeira, who tapped in the fifth round to a rear-naked choke, believes he would have walked away with the victory on Saturday and retained the light heavyweight championship.
