Jiri ‘Denisa’ Prochazka, the former Rizin FF light heavyweight champion, got his second UFC victory with a spectacular KO at UFC Vegas 25 against Dominick Reyes. This KO triumph had a tremendous impact on the MMA community. It was so impactful, that the UFC light heavyweight champ, Jan Blachowicz, shared his reaction. 

Blachowicz, who was extremely impressed, expressed his desire to fight the Czech fighter. ‘The Polish Power’ wrote, “Hey. @jiri_bjp. Me vs. you in Cieszyn. Prince vs. Samurai. Sword vs. Katana. #LegendaryPolishPower”.
