BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Glover Teixeira vs Jiri Prochazka:

Grant Dawson, UFC lightweight: To me, I think Prochazka can only win by KO, Teixeira can win by KO, submission, or decision and when you have someone that can win threes way to one, you have to pick that guy.

Christos Giagos, UFC lightweight: I’m going to go with Jiri Prochazka, he is so violent and vicious and will land on Glover.

Chris Curtis, UFC middleweight: I’m going to go with Glover Teixeira he has found a way to make it count. He has always been counted out and his ground game will be key.
