Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jiří Procházka reacted to the news that his fight with current light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill may take place in August.
Jiří Procházka
August is still early for me because, and I keep saying this, I don’t want to just come there healthy in the cage and go fight right away. I want to come into the cage with the fact that I’ve broken down my style and taken a step and I’m a step ahead in my fighting style, my career, my mindset, everything.
Procházka, 30, last fought in June 2022 at UFC 275, where he defeated Glover Teixeira by fifth-round choke. He has 29 wins and three losses under his belt.
Hill, 31, fought for the vacant belt against Glover Teixeira at UFC 283 in January 2023. That fight ended with Jamahal winning by unanimous decision. He has 12 wins and one loss under his belt.
