Jiu0159í Procházka was the best in the world, then everything fell apart for him. Now, after suffering his first UFC defeat, the big Czech is looking to climb the ladder to the top once again.
Procházka captured the light heavyweight title back in June 2022 with a last-gasp submission of Brazil’s Glover Teixeira at UFC 275, but an injury sustained in that fight left him on the sidelines and forced him to relinquish his belt before he had the chance to defend it.
His return came 17 months later when he faced former middleweight champion Alex Pereira for the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 295.
