Given top contender for bounce-back fight Prochazka will fight fellow light heavyweight Navajo Stirling at UFC Qatar on Nov. 21, according to Marcel Dorff of Heavy on Sports.

Impact Once again, after losing a challenge for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship, the ex-champion Prochazka will look to fend off one of the title's top contenders. In his last three fights not for the title, he has finished each of his opposing contenders, with Aleksandar Rakic, Jamahal Hill and Khalil Rountree following suit. Prochazka definitely has the talent to defeat Stirling, but the latter is projected to impose an incredibly difficult challenge, bringing to the bout his undefeated 11-0 record, recently improved with a first-round finish over ex-champion Jan Blachowicz.

Crushing loss in title fight Prochazka came up short in his quest for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship on Saturday, falling to Carlos Ulberg via KO (punches) at 3:45 of Round 1 at UFC 327 in Miami.

Impact You're going to be hearing about this one for a long time and not in a positive way for Prochazka. Jiri was struggling early on, absorbing too many low kicks. Yet the fight appeared to be all but over after Ulberg blew his right knee out. He was hobbling around the octagon and it seemed to only be a matter of time before either Prochazka put him away, or the doctor decided he could no longer continue. Instead, Jiri got clipped with a left hook which dropped him to the mat. A few follow-up shots later, he was done for good. It's a missed opportunity for Prochazka which will probably be impossible to overcome. Jiri's entertaining style will keep him relevant, especially in a thin light heavyweight division, but at age 33 and a ton of MMA miles on his body, this may have been his last chance to fight for UFC gold.
