Jiri Prochazka understands what needs to happen if he ever wants to reach the championship level again following his UFC 303 loss to Alex Pereira.
Prochazka (30-5-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) suffered a second loss to Pereira (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) in less than eight months Saturday when he was dropped and stopped in the second round of the light heavyweight title rematch at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, putting him in a difficult spot in the weight class.
It’s typically a challenging situation for fighters who are 0-2 against the current champion in their division, and that’s now the reality for Prochazka.
