Jiri Prochazka
Career overview
Jiri Prochazka holds a 32-6-1 professional record and competes as an orthodox-stance light heavyweight standing 6'3" with an 80-inch reach. The Czech striker operates as a volume-based fighter, landing 5.61 strikes per minute with 55% accuracy while absorbing 5.67 strikes per minute and defending at 45%—a style that reflects his willingness to engage in exchanges rather than avoid damage.
His grappling remains a secondary tool, averaging 0.49 takedowns per 15 minutes at 60% accuracy with solid 68% takedown defense, complemented by occasional submission threats at 0.2 per 15 minutes. Recent performances underscore his knockout power: he defeated Khalil Rountree Jr. via TKO in round three (October 2025), Jamahal Hill via KO in round three (January 2025), and Aleksandar Rakic via TKO in round two (April 2024), though he suffered consecutive losses to Alex Pereira in November 2023 and June 2024, both by knockout.
His submission victory over Glover Teixeira in round five (June 2022) and knockout of Dominick Reyes in round two (May 2021) demonstrate his finishing ability across multiple methods. Prochazka's recent winning streak positions him as a contender in the light heavyweight division despite the setbacks against Pereira.
