Jiri ProchazkaAll because the Czech, who was in a comfortable position in the main fight of UFC 327, an event held last Saturday (11), in Miami (USA), was surprised by Carlos Ulberg, who suffered a leg injury during the fight and ended up being knocked out in the first round. It's true that, for many, the Czech was the favorite to win the duel, but the veteran wasn't at all confident about it.

Glover Teixeira in the last round, when he was losing, in 2022, and was knocked out twice by Alex PoatánIn 2023 and 2024, he fell to the New Zealander in 2026. Therefore, Thomas was not surprised that the Czech had backed down in yet another decisive fight.

“Did you think Prochazka was showing mercy? I didn’t see that coming from him. He was up against a hurt guy, with only one leg, and he kept kicking his legs. He just got careless when he moved forward and got hit by the left hook. I want to say this with as much respect as possible, and it’s going to sound really bad, but to me, he’s kind of a coward in the big moments,” the veteran said on the YouTube channel UFC on Paramount+.
