In a thrilling display at UFC 311 on January 18, 2025, Jiri Prochazka secured a third-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Jamahal Hill at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Both fighters, known for their finishing abilities, engaged in an intense bout marked by powerful exchanges. Prochazka's superior striking and defensive skills ultimately led to Hill being knocked down twice in the third round before the referee halted the fight.
Following his victory, Prochazka expressed a desire for a trilogy fight with current light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, who was present at the event. Prochazka, who had previously suffered two knockout losses to Pereira, remains determined to reclaim the title.
In addition to his performance in the octagon, Prochazka made headlines during the UFC 311 press conference by appearing with a shaved head, a gesture of solidarity with a fan diagnosed with cancer. He announced a donation of $50,000 through his foundation to support the young fan, a contribution matched by UFC President Dana White, bringing the total donation to $100,000.
This victory and Prochazka's actions outside the cage have further solidified his reputation as both a formidable fighter and a compassionate individual.
