Jiri Prochazka Eyes Title Shot with Win Over Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 320

Jiri, who vacated his belt due to injury in 2022, said, “I believe that my statement will be that I am the next challenger for the title.” The division’s picture will also clear at UFC 320 when Ankalaev defends vs. Pereira. After relinquishing the title, Jiri failed to reclaim it upon his comeback but feels that a win on Oct 4 will allow him to be “focused for the title.”
