Jiri Prochazka a Future UFC Star

Jiri isn’t your typical UFC star that calls out fighters, like many others that mimic Conor McGregor. Instead, he comes across as a quirky martial artist with a humble attitude. Then once the Octagon door is closed he feeds off his opponent’s energy and matches that x10 with real-time skill and aggression.

His violent style echo’s former UFC stars such as Wanderlei Silva and Chuck Liddell, with a sprinkle of “El Cucuy” for flavor. Obviously, this style has its pitfalls and isn’t exactly the most sustainable at the upper levels of MMA, but Jiri has a well-rounded game and knows what he needs to bring for each opponent’s style. We saw flashes of this from Johnny Walker during his 2018-19 rise, but ultimately Walker had some holes in his game that needed to be worked on.

Jiri has put in the hard work over the years in Rizin and holds an important win over Bellator light heavyweight champ Vadim Nemkov. Next up for the Czech Muay Thai specialist, he might have to take a fight against Ratic or Santos. Then he will face the winner of Jan vs Glover.
