Jiri Prochazka Says Carlos Ulberg Fight Not Yet Signed as He Targets Late-March Return

Prochazka says he is targeting a bout before March ends because his first child is due in April.

Overview

  • The former light heavyweight champion stated on social media that a rumored fight with Carlos Ulberg is not confirmed and remains under negotiation.
  • Prochazka said he wants to compete by the end of March so he can be present for his child’s birth in April.
  • A report had claimed Prochazka vs. Ulberg was set for UFC 327 in Miami on April 11, but that timing conflicts with his stated window.
  • He reiterated his intention to fight for the light heavyweight title, though the UFC has not announced whether his next bout would carry a championship.
  • Speculation about Alex Pereira moving to heavyweight is keeping the 205-pound title picture fluid, with some observers suggesting Prochazka-Ulberg could be for a vacant belt if that move occurs.
