I don’t want to wrestle like I did in Rizin, a virgin or an eagle, says Procházka. What pissed him off the most?
Jiří Procházka has done something that no other Czech has ever done. The native of Hostěradice won the UFC welterweight title when he managed to stop Brazilian Glover Teixeira despite the odds. What was he unhappy with after the fight?

Jiří Procházka is the most talked about Czech name at the moment. The tall fighter won the UFC title and has become one of the legends of his sport.
In the title fight, he defeated reigning champion Glover Teixeira, who was leading on points, but had to tap out with half a minute left. Procházka was, however, rather cranky about the course of the fight.
“One thing that really pisses me off is that I didn’t give the performance I expected and I have to make a lot of changes for next time. Not so much in terms of preparation, but what I want to go into the game with. I didn’t go there in the best mood,” he said in an interview with iSport.
Although he is annoyed by it, the fans enjoyed the match and it can definitely be ranked among the best in recent times. But the Czech fighter was satisfied with the way the fight ended.
“That’s probably what pleases me the most about it, that I just switched at the end to ‘Dude, do anything but win it then. And then it just came down to the fact that the opportunity was there. Bombs, bombs… Dude, that neck would go in there, so I’m going to try and finish it. And it worked.
But I said, I don’t want to fight like that. I don’t want to wrestle like I did in Rizin, virgin or eagle. That I have to survive tough situations until my opponent breaks out, and then I tell him it was nothing and I break him,” he added.
Now he faces a well-deserved celebration and recovery with his hand, which has strained ligaments and bruised knuckles. But he would like to defend his title this year.
