Of course, I have some strategy, we have some tactics with my team,\u201d Prochazka said. \u201cI saw a lot of spaces where I can catch him. Also on the ground, I think he believes he his ground, but he didn\u2019t prove it enough. It doesn\u2019t matter if I have to change my style, if I have to fight on the ground, change my stance, I adjust. I will not stop until I find the right moment, how to win, and show him that there is no opponent like me in his career.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the talk of adjustments, the 33-year-old Czech Republican still believes his finishing ability will ultimately make the difference on fight night.<\/p>\n<p>I want to show my best, I\u2019m prepared to do that,\u201d he said. \u201cI believe sooner or later I can catch him, and I will take the belt.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"UFC 327 Countdown - Full Episode\" fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"object-cover group-hover:opacity-90 transition-opacity duration-200 ease-out\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775518271_601_image.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-white text-sm sm:text-base font-medium line-clamp-2\">UFC 327 Countdown &#8211; Full Episode<\/p>\n<p>Prochazka is no stranger to championship success.
