The main event at UFC Vegas 25 saw Jiri Prochazka take on former UFC title challenger, Dominick Reyes. ‘Denisa’ made his UFC debut against Volkan Oezdemir at UFC 251 last July. He followed up his sensational debut in style as it took him a little under six minutes to destroy ‘The Devastator’.

Prochazka, who was a former Rizin light heavyweight champion, was signed to the UFC shortly after defending his belt for the first time against C. Dollaway. Given his accomplishments, there was a lot of hype surrounding Prochazka. However, after his first two fights in the UFC, it is safe to say that the hype is justified.
