Jiri Prochazka Trades Barbs with Magomed Ankalaev After UFC London



-summary-
Jiří Procházka and Magomed Ankalaev’s conflict heated up after UFC 313, where Ankalaev won the Light Heavyweight Championship against Alex Pereira. While Procházka congratulated Ankalaev on his victory and acknowledged his pressure, his message—"you have the title for now"—hinted at unfinished business.


Ankalaev, however, responded aggressively, calling Procházka a "terrible fighter" and a "fraud," dismissing him from title contention. This was a surprising shift, as Procházka recalled their past interactions at the UFC Performance Institute, where Ankalaev had been "very nice and friendly." Procházka questioned Ankalaev’s sudden change, responding, "He wants to act like he is a gangster now when he got belt. The only person who’s a fraud is him." Jiří also later mentioned that Ankalaev have beaten worst version of Pereira we have seen yet.

Was Pereira Compromised? The Injury Rumors That Won’t Go Away


There are rumours within the MMA community suggesting that Pereira had entered the fight with a serious injury—specifically, an issue with his left hand, the very weapon that has made him one of the most feared strikers in combat sports. While no official confirmation has surfaced, key observations fuel this theory:


  • Lack of Left-Hand Power: Pereira, known for his devastating left hook, barely utilized it against Ankalaev, favoring jabs and right-handed counters instead.
  • Uncharacteristic Hesitation: Fighters who have faced Pereira describe an overwhelming presence inside the octagon. Against Ankalaev, he seemed unusually cautious and less explosive.
  • Pre-Fight Camp Reports: Several insiders have hinted that Pereira’s training camp was troubled, with speculation that he was nursing an injury but chose to fight regardless.

Whats next for Prochazka? Carlos Ulberg. Prior to Blachowicz-Ulberg fight at UFC London, Procházka stated, "After today’s information (rematch between Alex and Ankalaev). I don’t want to just stall and wait for the winner. Maybe I will fight with winner of Saturday night. So let’s see who will be the winner. Let the better (man) win."
 
Finally a dude that's calling out Ali lol

I just realized should this fight ever happen our boy @HHJ is gonna have a hard time. Who will get onto the next avatar? Possible Magojiri Prochazkalaev shoop angle here
 
Jiri is the man. Takes any and all challengers, challenges those above him constantly and is always ready. Win or lose, you know he will bring mayhem to the cage. Even when he blocks with his face, he does it to inflict more damage to his opponent. If they make him fight Ulberg, I have the feeling the fight will end just like the Rakić fight. Imo, the most exciting guy at LHW by far.
 
The more I think about it, the more I would like Ank vs Jiri next. Poatan vs Ulberg for the next shot - market it as Izzy's mate looking for redemption.
