Jiri Prochazka is looking to put his recent issues behind him and has two potential opponents in mind as he looks to get back on track.
Earlier this month, he was knocked out by Carlos Ulberg in the first round of their vacant light heavyweight title bout, suffering a brutal loss in the UFC 327 main event.
Afterward, Prochazka drew criticism for saying he had shown mercy to Ulberg after âBlack Jagâ tore his ACL mid-round and continued fighting on one leg.
Ulberg didnât take kindly to those remarks, firing back by calling Prochazka a âpretenderâ despite his Samurai spirit reputation.

Reflecting on the time since that defeat, Prochazka didnât hold back when speaking about Ulbergâs remarks, even going so far as to call him a âstripperâ during his appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show.
âYou know, I donât want to hear this bullsâ from a stripper,â Prochazka said during the Ariel Helwani Show this Monday afternoon.
âI believe that in the cage, the fighters, we are one of the most rare people in the world and does anyone think that I prepared my words after the fight to tell the crowd âI was so mercifulâ. First of all, I didnât say that because Joe Rogan said to me âmercyâ.
âIt was not about mercy but I just saw him and he was hurt and then I just didnât accept the scenario of the fight. It could be an easy fight because all you need is hard work.
Despite being linked with an interim 205lb title fight by Joe Rogan, Costa isnât Prochazkaâs only target. The Czech fighter is also open to facing former champion Magomed Ankalaev around October.
