Usman named the favorite for the Pereira - Prochazka 2 fight

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman shared his prediction for the upcoming rematch between featherweight belt holder Alex Pereira and Jiri Prohazka.

"I watched the first fight between Jiri and Alex. Now I can say with certainty that Jiri is the favorite in the rematch. Yes, he lost in the first fight, but in the second Prochazka will be the favorite for me. When you're going for the title, all you have to do is be at home and train. However, after you become a champion, you start to be expected to "come here, perform there and so on". It's great, but all these media events distract you from training and focus on your next defense," - quotes Usman MMA Mania.

Recall, the Pereira - Prochazka 2 fight will headline the UFC 303 tournament, which will take place on the night of June 30 in Las Vegas, USA.
