Prochazka: "The main thing is to bring the belt back to the Czech Republic"

Former UFC bantamweight champion Jiri Prochazka admitted he was surprised by the promotion's decision to set up his rematch with Alex Pereira at UFC 303.

"I have to say I was a little surprised. I don't know why he agreed, whether it was the money or something else. If you talk about me, the UFC gave me the best terms, we agreed on the best money. I don't know how it was with Alex. I didn't think about money or anything else when I accepted the fight because it's not that important for me. The main thing is to win the title and bring it back to the Czech Republic," Prohazka was quoted by BJ Penn.

Recall that the UFC 303 tournament will take place on June 29 in Las Vegas, USA.
