It could be some time before Jiri
Prochazka returns from the shoulder injury that forced him out
of the
UFC 282 headliner, but when he does, “Denisa” vows to reclaim
what was once his.

Prochazka vacated the light heayvweight belt last week out of
respect to the rest of the division, as it is possible that he
could be sidelined for up to a year. As a result, Jan
Blachowicz and Magomed
Ankalaev will square off for the vacant 205-pound belt in the
new UFC 282 main event on Dec. 10 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las
Vegas.
That doesn’t mean Prochazka is giving up his throne entirely,
however. In a series of tweets over the weekend, the Czech fighter
vowed to return to the top of the division upon his return.
Grateful. There are no obstacles, just an opportunity to see the
same path from a different angle and be stronger and more human.
Once you accept the path of the warrior or simply be absolutely
honest to yourself, then you know deep inside what is false and
what is true, where your path is.
Title? I became the UFC champion [five] months ago and the current
situation does not change my inner feeling of being a champion,
that is the feeling and the reason why I started MMA. To be the
champion of the best and to be the best of the best.
This is my infinite motivation and spirit-consciousness and will to
ACT. I can’t move it even if I force it, It’s like gravity, a law
of physics. So if someone wins the LHW UFC title and proves they
are the best NOW while I rest, I will be honored to see that
performance and then get ready to show who is the rightful champion
of this division and MUCH more, [No. 1 pound-for-pound]. I thank my
fans for their support and trust. This is the beginning, of
something greater. I love you.
A former Rizin Fighting Federation title holder, Prochazka has won
his last 13 professional fights — all inside the distance. He
claimed UFC gold by rallying for a fifth-round submission of
Glover
Teixeira at UFC 275. A rematch with the Brazilian veteran was
slated for UFC 282, but Teixeira elected not to take a short-notice
fight against Ankalaev when the promotion offered it following
Prochazka’s withdrawal from the event.
Grateful.
