The former UFC light heavyweight champion related to Jamahal Hill's predicament and appreciated his decision as he goes into rehabilitation. Hill announced the relinquishment of his light heavyweight title after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon. In December last year, Prochazka faced a similar situation when he suffered a shoulder injury.

'Denisa' was scheduled to defend his belt against Glover Teixeira at UFC 282 but had to vacate the title due to his injury. Jamahal Hill faced Teixeira in the aftermath of Prochazka's withdrawal and won the belt by unanimous decision at UFC 283.

With Hill out, the light heavyweight division is currently without a champion. Prochazka is trying to get himself his next opponent as he tries to re-enter the championship conversation on his return.

Hill will take a while to recover from his injury. In the meantime, Jiri Prochazka could see himself getting a return fight booked against the winner of Alex Pereira and Jan Blachowicz's fight. 'Poatan' has been interested in the UFC light heavyweight title since the day he entered the division after losing his middleweight title to Israel Adesanya at UFC 287.
