Magomed Ankalaev jumped at the occasion to revel in Jiri Prochazka’s title loss at UFC 327.
Prochazka (32-6-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) was knocked out by Carlos Ulberg (14-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) in the first round of their vacant light heavyweight title fight Saturday at Kaseya Center in Miami.

Former champion Ankalaev (21-2-1 MMA, 12-2-1 UFC), who lost his belt to Alex Pereira at UFC 320, went off on Prochazka after falling short in three out of his four title fights.
“Jiri never talk about me again. You only can talk about me if you wanna fight none of these guys are my level congratulation, Carlos.”
“Prochazka been knocked out three of his last six fights. I don’t wanna hear his name anymore in the title picture enough is enough.”
Prochazka said he regretted showing Ulberg mercy after Ulberg injured his knee early in the fight. As he backed Ulberg to the fence, Prochazka was caught with a left hook which floored him. Ankalaev is not buying Prochazka’s claim that he held back.
“Jiri Prochazka He kept kicking Carlos’s legs. He did not show him any mercy. Fake.”
Ankalaev concluded things by calling out Prochazka for a fight.
“@jiri_bjp let’s fight next I dare you to call me out.”
