Teixeira put on a clinic taking down Blachowicz early in the first and holding top control the whole round. The second round was no different. The two exchanged solid punches early, but Teixeira was able to take Jan down, flatten him out, and eventually won with a Blachowicz tap.

Look for Teixeira to take on Czech Republic’s Jiri Prochazka in the spring on 2022.
