Prochazka vacated his title late last year due to a gruesome shoulder injury sustained in training camp that needed surgery indefinitely. That fight camp was preparing him to make the first defense of his title in an immediate rematch opposing former champion Glover Teixeira.
Considering this horrible news, the UFC decided to make a three-round encounter between Magomed Ankalaev and former champion Jan Blachowicz a five-round vacant title fight at UFC 282.
Once that fight resulted in a draw, the UFC immediately booked former champion Glover Teixeira, the man Prochazka took the belt from, to fight then no. 7 ranked Jamahal Hill, who defeated him via unanimous decision to claim the UFC light-heavyweight championship last month at UFC 283.
Now that the UFC has a 205 lb champion accounted for, Prochazka eyes a summer return to challenge Hill for the title:
“I’m working on it. Right now, the main target is to be in full range with that shoulder, to have activated all the muscles around the shoulder, and still building the best conditioning in the game and still work on the movement.
“I’d like to be (back) this summer or the end of this summer. It doesn’t matter. I will watch how it goes, everything, and by that we can fight maybe earlier or maybe later. But I think this summer is real(istic) to be ready and to be the champion.
“There’s no regrets. There’s no regrets. I don’t regret nothing. Everything, what I did was necessary, even the injury. Everything has a reason, so I’m good with everything. I’m just happy with how everything went.
“When I will be back in full power, I will be the champion. I am the champion right now, but I will be on paper the champion and I’m looking forward to the next challenges.”
This is great to hear, the former champ will be ready by the current champs deadline.
So, it looks like the next light-heavyweight title fight we’ll get is Jamahal Hill versus Jiri Prochazka.

Newly crowned UFC light-heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill has plans for his first title defense, and he wants the last man to hold the title, former champion Jiri Prochazka.
During an epic Fight of the Year winning affair between Prochazka and former champion Glover Teixeira at UFC 275, Prochazka submitted the Brazilian with a mere 28 seconds left in the fifth and final round to become the UFC light-heavyweight champion.
Prochazka was expected to make his first title defense in an immediate rematch with Teixeira, up until he suffered a gruesome shoulder injury that forced him out of the bout.
Considering, the UFC decided to make a vacant title fight between no. 2 ranked Magomed Ankalaev and no. 3 ranked former champion Jan Blachowicz at that same event, UFC 282, instead.
Once that fight ended in a draw, we were once again left without a champion, so the UFC made another vacant title bout, this one between then no. 7 ranked Jamahal Hill and his opponent that got passed up the month prior, Glover Teixeira, at UFC 283.
Hill put on a performance of a lifetime against Teixeira, winning all five rounds en route to the unanimous decision victory.
Now, Hill is already looking ahead, and he wants to fight the most dangerous man in the division, perhaps in the sport, Jiri Prochazka:
“I’ve wanted to fight Jiri for a long time. I’m willing to wait (un)til July, August, but past that I think it’s (the) next man up.”
This is a respectable timeline. It gives Prochazka time to recover and get himself into a training camp, but if it isn’t enough time, Hill still wants to remain active and defend his title.
Jiri Prochazka is not only a former UFC light-heavyweight champion, but also a former Rizin light-heavyweight champion. What’s more, he never lost either belt in a fight; he defended the Rizin title a single time prior vacating it for a UFC contract, and he was of course forced to vacate his UFC title due to the injury he recently suffered.
Prochazka is 29-3-1 as a professional with 28 finishes, 25 of which come via knockout. He submitted the greatest grappler to ever grace the UFC’s 205 lb division, he’s on a 13-fight win streak, and he’s gone 23-1-1 in his last 25, avenging the only defeat in that time via knockout.
Jamahal Hill on the other hand is just 12-1 (1 NC) with seven knockouts, 13-1 with eight knockouts if you count his no contest, which was overturned due to a failed drug test (marijuana). But, despite his relative inexperience, Hill is incredibly well equipped to keep that title for the foreseeable future.
