Jiří Procházka implements tactical changes ahead of upcoming fight

MMA fighter Jiří Procházka is undergoing a significant tactical and coaching overhaul following his April loss to Carlos Ulberg at UFC 327. After failing to capitalize on an opponent's injury during that bout, Procházka has moved his training camp to Koh Samui, Thailand.

Procházka has ended his long-term professional partnership with coach Jaroslav Hovězák, transitioning their relationship to a personal one. He is now working with Dutch striking coach Danny de Vries to break long-standing fighting stereotypes and retrain his physical responses. While Procházka has not disclosed specific technical changes, he stated he is teaching his body new movements to improve his performance in the cage.

His next challenge will be against Navajo Stirling. Procházka noted that the intensive training period has been difficult due to prolonged separation from his family, specifically his young daughter, but emphasized his focus remains on his professional goals.
