Jiri Prochazka walkout songs: Tracks 'BJP' has used before
Jiri Prochazka's rapid and illustrious rise to the pinnacle of the UFC light heavyweight division is nothing short of remarkable, with 'BJP' securing the championship title in just his third fight.
Prochazka made his promotional debut in July 2020 at UFC 251, delivering a stunning knockout victory over Volkan Oezdemir in the second round, which earned him the Performance of the Night bonus.
In his sophomore octagon appearance in May 2021, the 31-year-old Czech fighter achieved a spectacular second-round knockout victory over former title challenger Dominick Reyes. This impressive win earned Prochazka a shot at the 205-pound title.
'BJP' seized the opportunity and successfully captured the light heavyweight championship by securing a last-minute rear-naked choke submission against then-champion Glover Teixeira at UFC 275 in June 2022.
However, a serious shoulder injury forced Prochazka to withdraw from his rematch against Teixeira at UFC 282, leading him to vacate the title to maintain the division's momentum. He returned to the octagon at UFC 295 last November but was defeated by Alex Pereira via second-round TKO in a bout for the vacant 205-pound championship.
Prochazka made a triumphant comeback at UFC 300 this past April, securing a decisive second-round TKO victory over Aleksandar Rakic and firmly re-establishing himself in contention for the title.
After the postponement of Conor McGregor's fight against Michael Chandler, originally scheduled as the main event of UFC 303 on June 29, Prochazka stepped up to face reigning champion Pereira as the headlining bout of the promotion's International Fight Week card in just two weeks' notice.
