Prochazka is contemplating a move up to middleweight

Former UFC bantamweight champion Jiri Prochazka has admitted that he wants to try his hand in the middleweight division in the future.

"Instead of going to heavyweight, I decided to try my hand at the middleweight division. I know that if I adjust my diet, I'll feel great there. I will be able to fight in the middle division by sticking to a lighter diet. But I'd like to do it after I regain the light heavyweight title," the Czech said on his YouTube channel.

Recall that in his last appearance in the octagon Prochazka knocked out Aleksandar Rakic in the second round. The fight took place on April 13 at the anniversary tournament UFC 300 in Las Vegas, USA.
