UFC’s first PPV event in South East Asia will see a light heavyweight championship bout in the main event. Veteran Glover Teixeira will defend his title against the Czech Republic standout Jiri Prochazka. UFC’s biggest PPV draw, Conor McGregor, showed his support for ‘BJP’ in the main event. But what was the reason for ‘The Notorious’ supporting Prochazka?

The Irish superstar always chimes in on big UFC fights. But usually, he does it after the bout. However, this time around, the ‘Face of the Fight Game’ offered his support for ‘The Book of Five Rings’ follower Jiri Prochazka, who is on a tier in the light heavyweight division.

Moreover, Prochazka is fighting in his first UFC title bout in the main event of UFC 275 against Brazilian-American champion, Glover Teixeira.

Conor McGregor picked Prochazka to win and wrote on Twitter, “Paradigm Sports Jiri “Bomby jak pica” (big f*cking bombs) Prochazka competing for the coveted UFC LHW title tonight! The unique styled Czech aiming to become the first champion of his country against the veteran Brazilian Champion. He wins we calling him “big f*cking cheques” #gp”

“Good luck Jiri! This guy is ready, watch what he is entering the arena in! We are rooting for you at HQ! Bring home the bacon and the sizzle @jiri_bjp,” added McGregor.

However, minutes later, the Irishman also hailed Prochazka’s nation, “Big fight night for the Czech Republic! The @ufc ! World f**king domination!”

The Irish fighter backed his fellow European and Paradigm Sports fighter to get the job done against the 43-year-old Glover Teixeira.

Conor McGregor also backed Joanna Jedrzejczyk to win at UFC 275

McGregor has often shown support to his fellow Paradigm Sports athlete. But he’s a fan of the sport. Thus, he makes predictions ahead of the bouts like other fans.

The Irishman had a pick for the rematch of a ‘Fight of the Year’ between former strawweight champions, Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili.

Also, McGregor thought the close first bout should’ve gone to women’s strawweight GOAT, Jedrzejczyk, instead of the Chinese athlete, ‘Magnum‘. Anyhow, these two will meet at the UFC 275 to settle the scores.
