Jiri Prochazka Eyes Three Potential Opponents for Next UFC Appearance

Ulberg is on a streak, if he gets by Jan then feed him to Jiri in a title eliminator

Maaaan, fuck that. If Ulberg gets by Jan, he should be after Ank. That's an 8 fight win streak capped off with #3. Jiri should win at least 2 more for a title shot.

Nobody knows who Ulberg is outside of hardcore fans, a win over Jan and then Jiri-San would really launch his career

Jan vs Jiri is the fight they should have made a long time ago. In Poland or Czech both crowds would go bananas if it happened.

Jiri Prochazka isn’t looking beyond the Top 3 contenders at light heavyweight for his next fight.

Jiri Prochazka Eyes Three Potential Opponents for Next UFC Appearance

In an ideal world, Prochazka would like to fight for the title next. That will have to wait at least until Alex Pereira puts his light heavyweight crown on the line against Magomed Ankalaev in the main event at UFC 313 on March 8 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Prochazka is also willing to prove himself one more time if necessary. The Czech would like to fight either Pereira, Ankalaev or Jan Blachowicz in his next promotional appearance.

“I see three guys there who’s from Top 5 like [as a good] challenge for me,” Prochazka said on the "Overdogs with Mike Perry" podcast. “Because I don’t wait to fight other guys. There’s Alex, there is Ankalaev and third one is Jan Blachowicz. Because he showed a really nice performance against Alex too… This year I know I’m going to the top… Just give me an opponent and I want to show that I am the champion.”




Blachowicz is one of only two UFC fighters to go the distance against Pereira, though the Pole ended up on the short side of a split decision in 2023. “Poatan” then went on to win the vacant title with a stoppage win over Prochazka. The Brazilian has since defended his title three times, which includes another stoppage win over Prochazka in their rematch last year. Meanwhile, Prochazka has alternated stoppage wins over Aleksandar Rakic and Jamahal Hill between his title losses.

WAR JIRI!!!!

 

[Elvis.]

Jiri vs Jan is interesting

 

[TITS]

That's an insane combination. Left, then the forearm to multiple parts of the head, elbow to the tit, then a right.

 

[bigfootsbreath]

It seems pretty clear here that jiri is ducking MVP.

 

[Felya]

What about Khalil Rountree? Would rather see that fight than any of the ones he mentioned.

 

[Herwald]

Jan vs Jiri is still money for me. I like.

 

[Tokoloko]

It seems pretty clear here that jiri is ducking MVP.

Absolutely. What a duck!! I bet they call u Sherlock at home!

 

[HHJ]

Yeah I dont think he should get the next shot in his next fight if Poatan wins again. If Ankalaev wins, it would be GREAT to see Jiri fight him, but they might just do a rematch depending on how that goes.

 

[HHJ]

Jiri will never fight alex again

Whaaaat of course they could fight again


People will wanna watch that shit

 

[RockyLockridge]

If Jan beats Ulberg, I guess they will need someone to be at the top again with some wins real quick, so Jiri-Jan sounds as serviceable as you can.

If Alex beats Ank, especially strongly, then Jiri-Ank makes quite a bit of sense too. They can have a high profile fight without having much of an effect on "Let's get one of these guys back to a title fight quickly!"

I don't see any reason to do Jiri-Alex any time soon, even if Ank beats Alex.

One possibility is if Alex beats ank and seriously does move to hw to fight for a title there ulberg/Jan winner Vs jiri for a title or interim title is a very real possibillity

I don't expect Alex to fight much more than 3 times. If he dispatched ankalaev in vintange poatan form, there's no reason for him to delay him from the biggest fights possible

What about Khalil Rountree? Would rather see that fight than any of the ones he mentioned.

No no, It's rountrees turn to brutalize Jamalal hill

No they call me Daddy. I can come over to your home and y'all can call me Daddy too.
