Prochazka called the timing of his recovery

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jiri Prochazka told when he plans to return to the octagon.

“I believe it won't take long. Many doctors talk about this because I know my body. I know how to recover after surgery, after such difficult situations. Therefore, I am calm and satisfied. I need six months. Many people say that it takes 8-9 months, but I know my body. I believe that I can heal my shoulder in 3-4 months and start working at full strength,” said the Czech.

Recall that Prochaska was supposed to fight in a rematch with Teixeira, but withdrew from the fight due to a serious shoulder injury. He also left the UFC championship belt vacant.
