Alexander Volkanovski gives Jiri Prochazka a reality check about his rematch request after UFC 327

‘Alexander the Great’ thinks Jiri Prochazka has work to do if he’s to earn one other title opportunity.

The previous light heavyweight champion fell short in his third shot at becoming a two-time king within the division at UFC 327 last Saturday.

Prochazka was knocked out by Carlos Ulberg in round considered one of the principal event in Miami, a shocking finish that got here while the Kiwi battled a seemingly serious knee injury.

The Czech star believes he knows what caused the loss and learn how to rectify it, but Alexander Volkanovski disagrees together with his push for a right away rematch.

Prochazka suffered a brutal KO loss to Carlos Ulberg at UFC 327, what’s next for the previous champion?

Alexander Volkanovski dismisses Jiri Prochazka’s push for a Carlos Ulberg rematch

Prochazka claims he showed Ulberg “mercy” of their fight after realizing his fellow title challenger was hurt. Many have rejected that suggestion by stating that he continued to throw leg kicks after the actual fact.

That hasn’t stopped ‘BJP’ from pushing the narrative and using it to request a shot at redemption for Ulberg’s first title defense.

Volkanovski, who has trained with the brand new champion over at City Kickboxing in Latest Zealand, gave Prochazka a reality check when it got here to that desire.

“That’s not gonna occur,” Volkanovski said on his YouTube channel. “I like Jiri, I’m not having any shots at Jiri. Nevertheless it doesn’t work like that.

“Although (Ulberg’s) leg was busted, it looked prefer it was at all times going to be a troublesome fight for Jiri.

“I don’t understand how you may persuade the UFC that, ‘Gimme a rematch due to these circumstances.’ They’re gonna be like, ‘Wait, he tore his ACL and still managed to knock you out?’

“I don’t understand how they’re going to go about that,” he added.

Prochazka has now lost three title fights since he vacated the sunshine heavyweight throne attributable to a shoulder injury in late 2022.

Since beating Glover Teixeira to turn into champion, Prochazka has been knocked out by Pereira twice and now by Ulberg.
