Prochazka recently revealed that the originally expected date for him to fight was on May 11. However, Prochazka’s girlfriend gave him permission to fight on that date only for a massive matchup. Prochazka then started negotiating with the UFC for a title fight, which is now scheduled even closer to the expected date of the birth of his girl.
It Has to Be a Big Fight </2>
“I would like to rather fight later, in June or whenever,” Prochazka said on “The Ariel Helwani Show.” “One month after the birth [of my baby] will be the best. My girlfriend told me, ‘If you have the title fight 11th of May — because that was the possible date — let’s do that. But it has to be big fight. Don’t fight just some similar fight because you can fight all year these other normal fights.’ Then we started negotiating with the UFC about the title fight. And here it is.”
Prochazka (32-5) has finished every opponent in the UFC with the exception of Alex Pereira, who beat him twice for the title. Meanwhile, Ulberg (13-1) is on a nine-fight winning streak with six finishes since suffering his lone career loss in his UFC debut in 2021.
