Those looking for electricity in their mixed martial artists need to look no further than Jiri Prochazka.
“BJP” will return to the stage for the first time in nearly 17 months when he meets Alex Pereira for the vacant Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight title in the UFC 295 headliner this Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. Prochazka, 31, enters the Octagon on the strength of a 13-fight winning streak that has pushed his overall record to a remarkable 29-3-1. He has secured 28 of those 29 victories via knockout, technical knockout or submission, 23 of them inside one round.
