In a recent social media update, Jiri Prochazka addressed the nature of his defeat directly, emphasizing his commitment to a stronger comeback.

“If this is the phase of becoming the best, I embrace it. My act of mercy was misplaced, and it’s a part of myself that I need to overcome. This will undoubtedly happen in the cage. I offer no excuses; I lost focus, and he capitalized. Once again, I apologize to everyone for my performance. It is inevitable that I will emerge stronger than ever. I will return home and witness the miracle of life. See you soon.”

Looking ahead, it is anticipated that Prochazka will draw significant lessons from this experience. As for Ulberg, the timeline for his return remains uncertain due to his injury, but the hope is for a swift and complete recovery.
