Jiri Prochazka won the UFC championship belt, but everything could have been different thanks to the details

Jiri Procházka recently made Czech MMA history with a historic achievement. At the recent UFC 275, he took the UFC welterweight championship belt from Brazilian Glover Teixier. But everything could have been completely different.

Immediately after the fight, we informed you that with 28 seconds left in the title fight, Prochazka was still losing on most of the judges’ scorecards. But there were real risks in the fight.

A laceration above the eye during the fight haunted the mind of the Czech samurai

At the end of the second round, a nasty cut over the Czech samurai’s left eye came after a crushing elbow from the Brazilian. We know from history that doctors often stop fights in the case of deep lacerations, taking into account the health of the fighters.

The Moravian champion was fully aware of the risky situation during the fight, which he confirmed during an interview with renowned journalist Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour. ” At that moment I was really praying that the referees would not stop it,” Procházka knew about the seriousness of the injury.

“When he was on top of me and giving me bombs, I started playing games with him, laughing and talking to him,” Procházka described. “Then when he opened me up, I said to myself, that’s what I get for my antics,” he added. During a break, his coaches in the corner then told him off for the moment.

Then, during the duel, there was another risk that the media noticed. Procházka tapped Teixeira’s body several times during the fight, which could have been considered by the referee as surrendering to his opponent.

“We were trying to push him a little bit,” he explained the knocking on the opponent. “Come on, do something, show something more,” he shouted at the Brazilian as he worked on the ground. “I just wanted to throw him off and then counter-attack with a shot,” he added.

“It was a strategy, but a damn dangerous strategy,” he said, knowing the risk of his actions. In the end, the fight went well, and Procházka took home the biggest success of his fighting life to date.
