We had one offer for a match, but everything is being postponed because of school. Once he finishes it, we will continue negotiations.
Prochazka's last fight was against Jamahal Hill in January this year at UFC 311, where he won by technical knockout in the third round. He has a professional record of 31 wins, five losses, and one draw.
Prochazka made his UFC debut in July 2020 against Swiss fighter Volkan Oezdemir, winning that fight by knockout in the second round.
