knocked out Reyes with a brutal spinning back elbow<\/a> in their May 2021 fight, thinks Reyes looked off against Ulberg.<\/p>\n“That was not the day of Dominick Reyes,” Prochazka told MMA Junkie and other reporters Monday at the UFC Performance Institute. “Man, what I saw, he was slow, he was not in himself, and he just walked into the combination. That was a pure catch with no action. That was not his day.”<\/p>\n
Former light heavyweight champion Prochazka will look to re-enter the title picture when he takes on Khalil Rountree Jr. (14-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC 320 (pay-per-view, FX\/ESPNews\/Disney+, ESPN+) main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
