Jiri Prochazka made history by becoming the first fighter from the Czech Republic to win a belt in the UFC. \u2018BJP\u2019 made his UFC debut with an insane knockout win over the former title challenger Volkan Oezdemir.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He then took on another former title challenger in Dominick Reyes and turned in a knockout of the year candidate as he left Reyes motionless on the floor after a spinning elbow. These two performances were enough for the UFC to grant him a title shot, which they did at UFC 275, the promotion\u2019s first PPV event in Singapore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating history meant that Prochazka was given a hero\u2019s welcome in his home country. Videos shared by his manager Tim Simpson show a sea of people cheering on Prochazka as he flaunts his newly acquired piece of UFC<\/a> gold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jiri Prochazka scrapped a last-minute win against Glover Teixeira at UFC 275<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The fight did not start out well for Prochazka, who found himself on the ground with Glover Teixeira on top of him raining down elbows. Although \u2018BJP\u2019 did do a good job of making sure that the fight stays on the feet, he still has a long way to go before he can be confident in his takedown defense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stamina and durability played a big factor in the fight. Glover had the win all but sealed as the fight entered the final 30-seconds. However, extreme fatigue caused him to give up a position on the ground and end up in a choke himself. This is the first time in his career that Prochazka has secured a submission win, ironically against a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
