Read our privacy policy Jiri Prochazka has dismissed suggestions that his fight with Alex Pereira was stopped prematurely at UFC 295, after the Czech suffered a second-round loss in their title fight. Pereira, a former middleweight champion, won the vacant light-heavyweight belt with a TKO against Prochazka on Saturday, but some fans and pundits argued that referee Marc Goddard stepped in too soon. “Hello everyone, I just want to say to all of you: Thank you for your support,” Prochazka said on Instagram, after failing to regain the light-heavyweight belt that he vacated due to injury in 2022. I was out.” After Prochazka relinquished the light-heavyweight title in 2022, former champion Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev fought to a draw with the vacant belt on the line.
