UFC 295: Prochazka v Pereira

Czech professional mixed martial artist Jiří Procházka was born on October 14, 1992. As a former UFC light heavyweight champion, he currently fights for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the light heavyweight class. Procházka was the first-ever Light Heavyweight Champion of the Rizin Fighting Federation and the Gladiator Fighting Championship. He is ranked #1 in the UFC light heavyweight rankings as of April 2024.

Procházka debuted in professional mixed martial arts (MMA) in April 2012 with the Gladiator Fighting Championship, which at the time was the largest promotion in his home Czech Republic. In his first two years of pro fighting, he compiled a 7-2 record. Procházka was supposed to compete against Glover Teixeira at UFC 274 on May 7, 2022, for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. For unknown reasons, the fight was moved to UFC 275 on June 11, 2022.

Procházka became the first fighter from his native Czech Republic to win a UFC championship in a back-and-forth fight in which both competitors were often dropped. Procházka won the fight and the title by rear-naked choke submission in the fifth round. He was awarded the Fight of the Night title and the Crypto.com "Fan Bonus of the Night" title, with a Bitcoin payment of US$20,000 for placing second. On December 10, 2022, Procházka was scheduled to face Teixeira again at UFC 282.

On November 23, 2022, it was revealed, nevertheless, that Procházka had forfeited the title after being forced to withdraw from the bout due to a right shoulder injury. At UFC 295, Procházka lost to Alex Pereira via TKO on November 11, 2023, a bout that took place for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title belt.

However, the former UFC light heavyweight champion is set to square off against Alex Pereira on June 29, 2024, at UFC 303 for another title defense matchup.

“It was last year that we decided to build this foundation,” Prochazka said to UFC.com in 2022. “My team, my colleagues, they help me with that because my role is that I’m a fighter and I’m here to give my name for these causes. That’s how I want to use myself.”

The BJP Foundation raises funds for a range of purposes, but improving the lives of kids and their families who are facing different kinds of illnesses is its main goal.

A couple of the initiatives carried out by the BJP Foundation are mentioned on their website as "improving the facilities of Czech hospitals" and "contributing to support the mental well-being of the families of sick children" to make treatment more comfortable and secure for the kids and their families.

According to Prochazka, the BJP foundation aims to offer comprehensive care in sports alongside the healthcare initiative. This care can be in the form of strength and conditioning, athletic and performance psychology, or the professionalization of mixed martial arts in the Czech Republic.
