Targeting a September return to the Octagon following a devastating shoulder injury suffered in December of last year, former undisputed light heavyweight is unlikely to appear before that targeted date, despite reports linking the Czech Republic native to an August 19. return at UFC 292 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Prochazka, the current #1 ranked light heavyweight contender, has been sidelined since he headlined UFC 275 back in June of last year, scooping the undisputed division title with a stunning fifth round rear-naked choke submission win over former champion, Glover Teixeira.
And ahead of a slated UFC 282 title rematch with the Brazilian, Jiri Prochazka suffered a catastrophic shoulder injury, forcing him from the T-Mobile Arena headliner in December.
