Jiri Prochazka will be making his UFC debut in this fight, but he has had plenty of experience fighting during his career. Prochazka overall in his career has 26 wins and only three losses, and coming into this fight he has won ten fights in a row. Prochazka’s last fight came in December of 2019 and that one didn’t take long to finish getting the job done 1:55 in the first round.

Prochazka is a knockout artist and 23 of 26 wins have come by knockout. In this fight there is no doubt he will come out swinging and try to get the job done early. Two of his three losses came by knockout so there is a good chance that is how this fight will be ending.

This is Prochazka’s fight in the UFC, but he still should find success. He has the knockout power that can finish it in one punch, and he is going to get the job done against Oezdemir. Take him on the money line, but for even added value. Taking him to win by TKO will cash too.
