Jiří Procházka is a Czech light heavyweight and former UFC champion whose unique, unorthodox fighting style — incorporating spinning attacks, creative footwork, and unpredictable combinations — has made him one of the most exciting fighters in the sport. His epic war with Glover Teixeira for the vacant title in 2022, where he won from behind in the fifth round, is considered one of the greatest UFC title fights ever.
