The light heavyweight division has been simmering with tension, and Jiri Prochazka just turned up the heat. After a challenging year that saw him lose his title shot to Alex Pereira, the Czech fighter is ready to make some noise. And he chose a dramatic way to do it.
In a video, Prochazka called out top light heavyweight contenders Jamahal Hill and Magomed Ankalaev on X. His message was simple and brutally direct. These fighters haven’t impressed him lately, and he’s not afraid to say it out loud.
“Hello, it’s time to say something after a long time. I’m really looking forward [to] my next fight. And Jamahal, don’t speak about my performances, fight IQ and all these things because in your last fight, you didn’t show nothing, really. And the same guy, same – Ankalaev, in your last three fights, you showed totally nothing. So, stay on the ground then.”

It was a classic fighter move – calling out opponents while questioning their recent achievements. Even Magomed Ankalaev didn’t escape his verbal takedown either, with Jiri Prochazka claiming he’s done nothing substantial in his last three fights.
The fighting world loves this kind of raw, unfiltered energy. Jiri Prochazka isn’t just talking – he’s promising action. His upcoming fight at UFC 311 against Jamahal Hill is more than just a match. It’s a statement, a chance to prove he is still a top contender in a division hungry for excitement.

Prochazka, known for his intense, samurai-like persona, released a dramatic video announcing their upcoming UFC 311 fight. His declaration was classic fighter talk—serious, direct, and meant to intimidate. But Hill had other plans. Instead of matching Prochazka’s intensity, he went full Michael Scott from The Office.
When Prochazka boldly stated, “I’m coming!”, Hill couldn’t resist the perfect comedy setup. His response? A classic “That’s what she said!” – the iconic joke Steve Carell’s character made famous. It was unexpected, hilarious, and precisely the kind of energy fight fans didn’t know they needed.
Both these fighters are coming off losses to current champion Alex Pereira. They’re hungry, determined, and looking to climb back to the light heavyweight division’s top. Hill’s humor might seem playful, but his follow-up message about “class being back in session” made it clear he’s serious about winning.
