Jiri Prochazka claps back at Carlos Ulberg: 'I don't want to hear this bulls*** from a stripper'

Jiri Prochazka endured one of the toughest losses in recent UFC title fight history at UFC 327, suffering a brutal knockout at the hands of a compromised Carlos Ulberg, who was competing on a torn ACL . Around the same time, the former light heavyweight champion experienced one of life’s greatest joys, welcoming his first child to the world just weeks later. Prochazka, 33, hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since, for both reasons.

Speaking Monday on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” the Czech reflected on the roller-coaster ride his life has taken over the past few weeks. His mind is split in two entirely different directions. "Still, I can't sleep calmly because I'm still thinking about the improvements [I need to make after losing to Ulberg], about all these things that's happened — and this small angel,” Prochazka told Uncrowned.

“It's giving me lots of energy to keep thinking positively and keep working on myself. " Prochazka said he felt sharp in the early goings of his recent 205-pound title clash. It was a competitive affair for as long as it lasted, though the tide appeared to turn in Prochazka’s favor just minutes in once Ulberg took an awkward step backward and tore his ACL.

But it didn’t matter — moments later, Ulberg connected with the kill shot, dropping Prochazka with a clean check left hook while backed into the cage. The full extent of Ulberg’s injury was unknown to the world at the time, but Prochazka claimed he noticed it as soon as it happened. Prochazka immediately had flashbacks to a similar injury of his own, recalling his 2016 RIZIN Grand Prix win over Mark Tanios.
