C.B. Dollaway’s run with the UFC has come to an end but the former Ultimate Fighter finalist won’t have to wait long for his next opportunity after booking a title fight against reigning RIZIN light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka on Dec. 31 in Japan.
The fight was announced by RIZIN on Tuesday with additional sources confirming the matchup to MMA Fighting.
The news comes after Dollaway exits the UFC following an 11 year run with the promotion, which is where he’s spent the majority of his fighting career. The 36-year-old former wrestler was just recently handed a two-year suspension from USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) after testing positive for multiple banned substances.
