“I’m not surprised,” Prochazka said of Pereira vacating his belt on The Ariel Helwani Show. “I think it’s a gentleman thing. When you go up, it’s normal to release the title. I hoped (to meet Pereira again). Possible opponents for me, there was Ulberg or Pereira. I wanted just one of these two for a title fight because I think other fighters don’t deserve it, and I made enough to take back what’s mine. I believe sooner or later Alex Pereira will come in my way.”
“I already chose the way I like to hunt Ulberg because he don’t like the pressure,” Prochazka said. “He don’t like to be hunted. This is what I say to myself. I need to be that one who catches this guy. There is no other way to fight with him. He is fast, good kickboxer, he likes to jump a lot, to be light on the legs. He don’t like to wrestle. He don’t like to be on the ground. So, pressure, pressure. That’s it.”
