Storms back for massive victory Prochazka defeated Khalil Rountree via KO (punches) at 3:04 of Round 3 at UFC 320 on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact On the whole, this was probably Prochazka's worst performance in quite some time. For two rounds, he could get nothing going. He looked lethargic, was undisciplined defensively, and seemed to be struggling with his both his legs. Then at the start of Round 3, clearly down 20-18, Jiri simply made it one of the wild brawls we are accustomed to seeing with him and he found himself victorious shortly thereafter. The significant strikes in the final frame were 47-27 in Prochazka's favor. Through two rounds, it was 39-24 in favor of Rountree. Jiri will be 33 years of age shortly and is just 3-2 in his past five fights, but he's must-see TV every single time he steps into the octagon and still firmly finds himself in title contention at 205 pounds.

Fighting Rountree in October Prochazka will fight Khalil Rountree at UFC 320 on Oct. 4, according to UFC President Dana White (via Instagram Live).

Impact Prochazka will look to stay winning after a solid bounce-back TKO over Jamahal Hill in January, following a title loss to Alex Pereira last summer. The 6-foot-4 light heavyweight will take on another veteran fighter in Rountree, who also is coming off a win over Hill. Prochazka and Rountree both are entering October with much to prove as older fighters, which should make for an entertaining watch with lots of swinging.
