Although Jiří Procházka lost the title due to injury, nobody still holds it. However, this is likely to change in January. In any case, we must say that the light heavyweights are now really active, which the Moravian fighter also noticed, who spoke about the current situation in the UFC.
The Moravian warrior looks back on a year of his life. He won the light heavyweight title in the UFC, but unfortunately he was injured a few days before the defense and is now still recovering. It is expected that he will have to rest for another month.
Ankalaeva enjoyed the walk
Jiří Procházka has given up his title and it can be said that his weight division is very active because of this. Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev fought for the belt at the tournament where he was supposed to defend it, but the match ended in a draw and neither one won the belt.
The result of the fight was much discussed, Ankalaev and the Chechen dictator Kadyrov did not seem happy. And surprisingly, Procházka agrees with them. “Ankalaev won 100%. Anyone who saw him must have seen his victory. But it was really close, he expressed himself on the show MMA time.
Among other things, the South Moravian native praised Ankalaev for showing great heart and fighting spirit when Blachowicz famously kicked both legs, however the Russian didn’t give up and turned the game around in his favour.
Are many fighters in the UFC just about the money?
Jiří Procházka is expected to be out for six months. In January, however, Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill will fight for his title. Teixeira definitely deserves a title shot, however Hill was the talk of the town.
Hill was originally scheduled to fight Anthony Smith who will end up being the replacement for this title fight. Procházek doesn’t like this very much, but he tries to put the situation in perspective.
“It’s a crazy situation. I think it’s a bit of a disrespect to Smith, but the split has to go on. The way I see it, I’m the only person still developing and showing true potential.” in the light heavyweights”. Procházek let himself be heard.
“There are a lot of guys out there who fight to win just to make money. But that’s not what this is about. This is about the best performance. We are in the UFC and everyone has to respect that. We’re in the best organization and need to show some art that we’ve been working on all our lives and our entire career. Our division must move” He added.
Also for this reason Procházka respects the match for the title, which will be played in Brazil. He intends to fight anyone who gets in his way. “I’ll prove I’m on another level” he teased fans.
