Jiu0159í Procházka is eager to reclaim the UFC light heavyweight championship.
Several weeks ahead of his first defense against Glover Teixeira at UFC 282, ‘Denisa’ announced he was vacating the title after suffering a serious shoulder injury. With Procházka expected to be sidelined for six months to a year, the UFC opted to have Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev vie for the now-vacant title.
Though his reign was short-lived, Procházka says he still feels like a champion. And he vows to be one again in his return to the Octagon.
“Grateful,” wrote Procházka on Instagram.
