Not that it stopped him from shooting his shot.
“Maybe I need to be [in] a lot of chaos and there I will find the calm and the way to win,” Prochazka said after the fight. “It was a lot. I need some really dangerous opponent where I will feel the knockout from the first second so I will start 100 percent. I believe that next one will be one of these two who are fighting for the title.”
“I already offered Carlos Ulberg to fight, he turned me down to fight [Dominick] Reyes,” Prochazka added. “Believe me or not, my opponent makes my performance and I believe that will be one of these two headlining tonight in the title. My performance will be the best.”
No. 3-ranked light heavyweight contender, Carlos Ulberg, is expected to score the next crack at the 205-pound crown, based on his recent victory over Dominick Reyes and the strength of his nine-fight win streak. That said, “Black Jag” is not opposed to fighting Prochazka to settle any debate over who is the most deserving contender.
That would be a risky move for matchmakers.
“Of course, I want that title shot. But if I have to, I’ll take out the winner of Khalil and Jiri just to prove a point and leave no doubt,” Ulberg told New Zealand Herald. “We can run that fight as soon as possible. I’m the new man on the block, riding a nine-fight win streak in the UFC, fresh off a historic win last week. I’ll beat anyone they put in front of me.”
Now it’s just a question of “when?”
