Rarely do fighters make the type of immediate impact on the UFC that Jiri Prochazka has managed. With just two appearances for the organization to his credit, Prochazka on Saturday will challenge for the promotion’s light heavyweight title in what is clearly the biggest fight of the 29-year-old’s already impressive career.
