Two title fights will top the bill at UFC 275 this weekend, with a rematch of an instant classic also set for the card in Singapore.

In the main event, 42-year-old Glover Teixeira (33-7) makes his first defence of the light heavyweight gold, as the second-oldest champion in UFC history takes on Jiri Prochazka (28-3-1). The Polish challenger has surged to a title shot but, at 29, is already vastly experienced and has held belts in other promotions.

In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko (22-3) puts the women’s flyweight title on the line against Taila Santos (19-1), who is seeking to put an end to “Bullet”’s dominance atop the division.

Before those bouts, Zhang Weili (21-3) and Joanna Jedrzejczyk (16-4) square off in a rematch of what is widely considered to be the best women’s fight in UFC history – and one of the greatest ever in the promotion, full stop.
