Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka of the Czech Republic responded to a question about whether he is still interested in moving up to the middleweight division.
Prochazka said on his YouTube channel:
I've been considering that if Adesanya wins, I will stay in the light heavyweight division but if Du Plessis wins, I'll follow him. I'll clear things up there and take the belt. But I feel good and strong in the light heavyweight division, even if the guys there are a bit heavier.
Prochazka last fought against Alex Pereira in June 2024 at UFC 303. In that figh♛t, which was stopped in the second round, Jiri was defeated by technical knockout. He has 30 wins, five losses and one draw on his record.
Du Plessis defeated Israel Ade♔sanya by fourth-round choke at UFC 305 in August 2024 to defend ♑his middleweight belt. He has 22 wins and two losses under his belt.
