Jiri Prochazka Embraced All Aspects of MMA with a Holistic Vision ahead of UFC 275 Title Fight

This weekend will be the most important of Jiri Prochazka’s life, as the former Rizin Fighting Federation light heavyweight champ (28-3-1, 2-0 UFC) challenges Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Glover Teixeira in the UFC 275 headliner. “Denisa” is currently riding an impressive 12-bout winning streak, including two UFC triumphs. The Czech fighter earned his shot at the divisional championship after knocking former light heavyweight championship challenger Dominick Reyes out cold with a spectacular spinning back elbow in the UFC on ESPN 23 headliner. Still, the Jetsaam Gym Brno representative felt his fighting game wasn’t complete yet, so he traveled around the world to train and improve. After spending some time in the United States with former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo and training in Thailand, Prochazka feels he has embraced all the different aspects of mixed martial arts with an eye toward unifying them in his own approach.
