Jiří Procházka targets November or December UFC return

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jiří Procházka has indicated that a return to the octagon in October is becoming unrealistic. He stated in a recent interview that he is aiming for a fight in either November or December to allow for a proper two-month training camp.

Procházka expressed a specific desire to face a top-five opponent. He emphasized that he is looking for a quality challenger who is close to a title fight, rather than a soft landing, in order to move himself closer to another championship opportunity.

His last appearance in the octagon was in April at UFC 327, where he lost via knockout to Carlos Ulberg. Prior to that, his recent record included victories over Khalil Rountree Jr. and Jamahal Hill, as well as losses to Alex Pereira.
