Former UFC champion Jiri Prochazka is targeting a return to the cage in the summer after suffering the "worst shoulder injury in history".
Prochazka, 30, was forced to pull out of his light-heavyweight title defence against Glover Teixeira at UFC 282 last December after injuring his shoulder during training. The Czech fighter opted to vacate his belt to not hold up the division and Jamahal Hill recently claimed the title by beating Teixeira in Brazil this past weekend.
Rehabilitation is going even better than expected for Prochazka, who congratulated Hill on his recent win whilst warning the American about his plans to reclaim his title. There were fears that Prochazka could be sidelined for around a year, but he thinks he will be able to make his UFC return in late summer.
