Demetrious Johnson thinks Jiri Prochazka’s fighting style led to his downfall at UFC 327.<\/p>\n
Prochazka (32-6-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) was knocked out by Carlos Ulberg<\/a> (14-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) in their vacant light heavyweight title fight Saturday at Kaseya Center in Miami.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Ulberg caught Prochazka with a left hook in Round 1 while he was backed up against the fence. Prochazka pressed Ulberg, but his tendency of keeping his hands down while hunting his prey cost him.<\/p>\n “This is a lesson that I always say: Those athletes out there who keep their hands down when they fight \u2013 Bobby Green, Jiri Prochazka \u2013 when you have your hands down, if a guy goes wham and you can’t block everything,” Johnson said on his YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n “That’s a shot that just caught Jiri Prochazka at the very edge on the chin and drops him, and now we have a new light heavyweight champion of the world with Carlos Ulberg. I think he’s never going to break that habit of keeping his hands down fighting that way. I feel absolutely gutted for him.”<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n
