After a night of decision wins and a DQ verdict, headliner Jiri Prochazka ended UFC Vegas 26 with an exclamation point. The 28-year-old Czech fighter dealt former title challenger Dominick Reyes his third straight loss with a highlight reel spinning elbow KO in the second round.
The win puts Prochazka next in line to challenge for the undisputed light heavyweight title. And as far as current champion Jan Blachowicz is concerned, it is a matchup that is already worth looking forward to.
Hey @jiri_bjp.
Me vs you in Cieszyn
Prince vs Samurai
Sword vs Katana
