Kamaru Usman Daniel Cormier and Other UFC Stars React to Jiri Prochazka’s Stunning Spinning Elbow Knockout
The main event at UFC Vegas 25 newcomer Jiri Prochazka took on former title challenger Dominick Reyes. ‘Denisa’ recently made his UFC debut against Volkan Oezdemir in July last year. It took him a little under a minute of the second round to shut the lights off on the former title challenger ‘No Time’.
Prochazka is a former Rizin light heavyweight champion and was signed to the UFC shortly after defending his belt for the first time against C. Dollaway. There was a lot of hype surrounding Prochazka, given his accomplishments thus far. However, after his first two fights in the UFC, it is safe to say that the hype is justified.

After a performance like that, it is undeniable that Prochazka is a force to be reckoned with at 205-pounds. In just his second fight in the UFC, he has cemented himself as a top prospect. It is unlikely that he will get a title shot in his next fight. However, he will surely fight a top contender in his next fight.
