I can’t, I can’t digest that loss, you know. That was crazy the way it happened. So we just got to do it again.”

It’s clear that Teixeira wants to prove to himself and the world that he can defeat Jiri Prochazka and get the victory that eluded him in their last fight. This drive and determination are what make champions and Teixeira has it in spades.
