UFC president Dana White talked about how Jiří Procházka suffered the injury that caused him to drop his fight against Glover Teixeira and vacate the UFC light heavyweight title.
Dana White in an interview with Paddy Pimblett
What happened was that Jiří dislocated his shoulder, some guys in the gym tried to set it right, and broke his shoulder permanently. I tell all the fighters - if something happens to you, just go to the hospital. We'll cover all your expenses. Don't ever think some guys in the gym can fix your shoulder, don't take any chances.
Procházka last stepped into the Octagon against Glover Teixeira this past June at UFC 275. Jiří won that fight with a choking hold in the fifth round.
In May 2021, Procházka had a fight against Dominick Reyes. This fight ended in Jiří's favor, by knockout in the second round. He has 29 wins, three losses and one draw in mixed martial arts.
