Jiri Prochazka He has no fight scheduled, but he seems in shape for his next appearance with the UFC gloves. Although he does not yet have a fight scheduled, the former light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg) drew attention on social media by showing an impressive physical transformation after a workout at the gym, with more defined muscles and greater muscle mass.

Prochazka has been at the center of an intense rivalry with the division's reigning champion, Magomed Ankalayev. After the Russian called him a 'fake ninja' on social media, Jiri reacted strongly, accusing the current belt holder of being a 'fake champion' and expressing his desire to face him in the octagon.

If Prochazka has to fight one more time before facing Ankalaev, there are several opponents who could be in his favor. Carlos Ulberg, who won Jan Blachowicz No. UFC London last Saturday (22), and Roman Dolidze, which surpassed Marvin vettori, are two of the most relevant names in the light heavyweight division who do not have fights scheduled immediately.

Jiri Prochazka, 32 years old, has a track record of 31 positive results and five negative ones – having lost only to Alex Poatán with the organization's gloves. Second in the light heavyweight ranking (up to 93kg), he has already guaranteed six bonuses in Dana White's company, with two 'Fights of the Night' and four 'Performance of the Night'.
