Procházka outlined how he imagines the order of his opponents. Overseas, he has been compared to Jagr and Hasek

Although Jiří Procházka is back in the Czech Republic, he is still fulfilling his media duties, which are, of course, not too few. After all, he is the UFC champion. Now he has spoken about how he envisions his next fights.

The Czech Republic has its first ever UFC champion. Over the weekend, Jiri Prochazka was able to defeat veteran Glover Teixeira. Since then, however, the question has been who will be his first challenger.

Immediately after the fight, the Brazilian asked for a rematch, however, former champion Jan Blachowicz also claimed the fight. In addition to that, UFC boss Dana White recently mentioned someone else as a future challenger.

At the end of July, Magomed Ankalaev and Anthony Smith will face each other, with the victory of the upstart Ankalaev, who has already managed to take a dig at Prochazka.

And how does Procházka himself see it? He didn’t have a plan immediately after the fight, but in an interview with the MMA Hour he already outlined a potential program. However, he has to communicate it with the UFC, which has slightly different plans.

“First I want to offer a rematch to Glover, then I would like to fight Blachowicz. I think Jan is the second most dangerous fighter in the rankings below me,” the UFC champion let slip.

He wants to make his first title defense later this year, and would like to fight Blachowicz in the Czech Republic. He said it would be the biggest fight in MMA history if it happened.

Famous journalist Ariel Helwani compared Prochazka to legends such as Jaromir Jagr and Dominik Hasek, among others. Procházka, however, rejected such comparisons, saying, “There is still a long way to go.”
