At the new UFC 300 event, Jiri Prochazka had an impressive return. He won against rival Aleksandar Rakic with a knock-out blow. Prochazka also holds $ 300,000 for the Performance of the Night, for the outstanding boxers at the event.
The victory over Aleksandar Rakic helped Prochazka soon return to the Light Heavyweight weight championship race. In the past, Prochazka had once kept the belt. He was only deprived of long -term injury, and could not protect the championship under the schedule given by UFC.
Besides the race to win the Light Heavyweight weight championship, Prochazka is also expected to compete in another weight class. The public once predicted that he would put on Heavyweight to play, but this boxer went in the opposite direction. Prochazka said he could relegate Middleweight.
“Instead of giving up on Heavyweight, I think I can try at Middleweight. I know if I apply a reasonable diet, I can squeeze the lower weight class and still play with the best physical condition,” Prochazka shared before the rumor he switched the weight -to -weight class.
Prochazka himself also made a small note about the transfer of weight. He affirmed that this was just a choice, in case this boxer regained the championship in Light Heavyweight. “I want to focus on weighing on the weighing now.”
The current owner of the UFC Championship Light Heavyweight is Alex Pereira. Brazilian boxers defeated Prochazka at the last time they met. Also at UFC 300, Pereira successfully defended the championship with the victory over rival Jamahal Hill after only 3 minutes of competition.
