Off the back of his UFC light heavyweight championship coronation last month, Czech Republic finisher, Jiri Prochazka has offered to rematch former division titleholder, Glover Teixeira in his first defense of the 205lb crown, insisting that he was less than happy with his performance in June.
Jiri Prochazka, who landed his third promotional victory back in the main event of UFC 275 back in June, stopped then-defending light heavyweight champion, Teixeira with a hail mary, fifth round rear-naked choke – in a bout he was losing on the judge’s scorecards.
Touted as one of the greatest and most competitive title fights in the history of the promotion’s light heavyweight division, following his title victory, Prochazka was immediately linked with a championship rematch against the Minas Gerais veteran, who held his own, and was mere moments away from snapping Prochazka’s promotional perfect run.
Another potential opponent for former Rizin FF champion, Prochazka in his first attempted defense of light heavyweight gold, came in the form of former champion, Jan Blachowicz. However, Prochazka insists he would like to improve on his performance against Teixeira – in the form of an immediate title re-run.
“Hello everybody, I wish you a great day,” Jiri Prochazka said in a video posted on his social media. “I have decided on my next fight. And I wanna fight Glover (Teixeira) (in) the next fight. Not because it will be another big fight, but one reason – my performance was bad in the first fight. And I will show you why I am the champion, clearly, decisively. And I think Glover deserves it.” (H/T UFC on BT Sport)
Prior to his championship-clinching performance against Teixeira, Prochazka managed to earn his premier title challenge with a pair of blistering knockout wins over former title challengers, Volkan Oezdemir, and Dominick Reyes.
Following his third-round win over Aleksandar Rakic in May, Jan Blachowicz expects the UFC to give him the first crack at new UFC light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka. At UFC 275, Prochazka defeated UFC mainstay, Glover Teixeira, in an absolute war that many called a potential Fight of the Year candidate. It was a back-and-forth […]
Following his third-round win over Aleksandar Rakic in May, Jan Blachowicz expects the UFC to give him the first crack at new UFC light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka.
At UFC 275, Prochazka defeated UFC mainstay, Glover Teixeira, in an absolute war that many called a potential Fight of the Year candidate. It was a back-and-forth affair that saw both fighters on the cusp of a finish. In the end, the Czech fighter scored a rear-naked choke with just 28 seconds left in the fifth round to get the submission and his first piece of UFC gold.
While speaking to The Schmo, Blachowicz discussed a potential title bout with Prochazka and admitted that he would be upset should the UFC move forward with an immediate rematch between the new world champion and Teixeira.
“Of course, I will. And he will be upset when they give me this title shot. It’s normal, yeah? But I think, yeah, I would like to prove the world that I will just get this belt back.”
Despite early rumors that the UFC may be considering a rematch of the UFC 275 main event, Blachowicz believes that the UFC will give him the opportunity to reclaim the light heavyweight title next.
“I believe in that. I believe everything what you say right now…I don’t think they would not give it to me. But if [I’m not given a title shot], I don’t care. I never choose my opponent.”
Jan Blachowicz laid down the challenge to Jiri Prochazka on Twitter calling it the “Battle of Europe.” Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, the new light heavyweight king expressed an interest in taking on the Polish pounder, calling him the “most dangerous man” in the division, aside from himself of course.
“I think the most dangerous man here in the light heavyweight division, after me, under me, there is Jan Blachowicz — and I think he can be the next challenger of me.”

Jiri Prochazka has revealed that Dustin Poirier started the altercation with Michael Chandler at UFC 276.
This past Saturday, T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, NV was lit up with thrilling performances on a main card that had about no takedowns scored. From Alex Pereira’s vicious knockout of Sean Strickland to the masterclass Alex Volkanovski put on Max Holloway, UFC 276 was one for the books.
Another highlight from the night came outside of the cage when two top lightweights collided. A clip uploaded by Gilbert Burns to his Twitter captured the incident as it went down. Security and company staff can be seen separating ‘Iron’ Mike and Poirier after their initial scuffle.
Michael Chandler is coming off an incredible knockout win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 274. During his post-fight octagon interview, Chandler doubled down on his performance with an electrifying promo calling out Conor McGregor and Charles Oliveira.
Poirier took issue at the omission of his name and the two have been feuding ever since.
UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka was in attendance at the International Fight Week event supporting the headliner Israel Adesanya, who’s also signed to Paradigm Sports. Prochazka was closest to the action outside the octagon as he was right next to ‘Diamond’ when the situation escalated.
In an interview with Helen Yee, ‘The Czech Samurai’ talked about the infamous altercation between Chandler and Poirier.
“I was closest, next to Dustin and he started to be aggressive, to talk some trash talks and all this stuff for the Michael,” revealed Prochazka (ht sportskeeda). “And they start to talk together. Nothing surprised for me but I saved them [laughs]. I just watched that and there was a guy from the UFC and they tried to fix it.”
When probed by Yee about who started it, Prochazka revealed that it was Poirier who began to get fired up first before the 205 lbs king intervened, saying, “I think yeah.”
