The UFC <\/a>light heavyweight division is a battleground of elite talent, with Alex Pereira reclaiming the title via first round KO over Magomed Ankalaev at UFC <\/a>320. Amid the chaos, Jiri Prochazka, the former champion, reasserted his contender status with a third-round knockout of Khalil Rountree Jr. on the same card. His performance electrified T-Mobile Arena, signaling his intent to reclaim the belt he lost in 2023. <\/p>

Prochazka’s unorthodox style, blending raw power and relentless aggression, has made him a fan favorite. Now 32-5-1, he’s eyeing a rematch with Pereira or Ankalaev. However, a recent revelation about a turned-down fight with rising star Carlos Ulberg has added intrigue, spotlighting the division’s depth and rivalries as Prochazka carves his path back to gold. <\/p>

Prochazka Claims Ulberg Declined Fight Offer<\/h2>

Jiri Prochazka talked to Ariel Helwani about the Carlos Ulberg fight offer he had received and here is what he had to say;<\/p>

“After final exams of university, there was offer for Ulberg in Australia. I accepted that and he declined because I don’t know, whatever, he just declined that. And I accept Rountree and in the same time, he accepted Reyes.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
