Jiri Prochazka receives a hero’s welcome after UFC 275 title win

UFC light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka was met with a hero’s welcome after returning home following his triumph at UFC 275.

Last Saturday night in Singapore, Jiri Prochazka went through what can only be described as one of the most hellacious fights in the history of the UFC’s 205-pound division. ‘BJP’ challenged Glover Teixeira for the strap with the fight, surprisingly, going five rounds as both men gave everything they had in the name of holding the championship up high.

Teixeira appeared to be on his way to victory in the final round after landing a few nasty blows, but credit needs to go to the challenger for the manner in which he was able to reverse position and actually submit Glover – a man known for his jiu-jitsu prowess.

Many believe Prochazka now has the potential to become a household name in the UFC and it’s hard to argue against that, especially when you look at the following footage of his return to the Czech Republic.
