Former undisputed light heavyweight champion, Jiri Prochazka has confirmed plans to make an Octagon return as soon as September of this year following a devastating shoulder injury suffered last December – ahead of an expected reworked fight with Jamahal Hill.
Prochazka, the current #1 ranked light heavyweight contender, was scheduled to headline UFC 282 back in December in a title rematch against former gold holder, Glover Teixeira, however, in the weeks ahead of the fight, the Czech Republic native was forced to withdraw from the fight, after suffering a shoulder injury – one which UFC leader, Dana White claimed was the worst the promotional doctor’s had ever seen.
