Jiri Prochazka She has a very clear goal for her next career step. The Czech fighter was knocked out by Carlos Ulberg in the first round of their fight for the vacant light heavyweight title (up to 93 kg) at UFC 327., this past Saturday (11), in Miami (USA). The former champion acknowledged the misfortune in the fight and indicated that he is already thinking about what he needs to improve before returning to the octagon.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Prochazka adopted a self-critical tone. The fighter stated that he showed "mercy" at an inappropriate moment in the fight and indicated that he intends to eliminate this aspect from his demeanor inside the octagon. The setback came from an opponent who injured his knee during the fight, but who, even so, managed to land a cross that knocked the Czech down and paved the way for the powerful sequence of punches that decided the fight.
