Jiri Prochazka is eager to fight a top contender in the light heavyweight division, specifically stating his interest in Alex Pereira, Magomed Ankalaev, or Jan Blachowicz. He expressed his desire to fight for the title again but acknowledged that the upcoming championship fight between Pereira and Ankalaev will determine the landscape. Prochazka emphasized his determination to prove himself and lift the championship title after facing setbacks in his career, including losses to Pereira and alternating wins over other competitors.
I see three guys there who's from Top 5 like [as a good] challenge for me. Because I don't wait to fight other guys. There's Alex.
This year I know I'm going to the top... Just give me an opponent and I want to show that I am the champion.
Blachowicz is one of only two UFC fighters to go the distance against Pereira, though the Pole ended up on the short side of a split decision in 2023.
Pereira has since defended his title three times, which includes another stoppage win over Prochazka in their rematch last year.
