Former UFC bantamweight champion Jiri Prochazka issued a statement following his early loss to current titleholder Alex Pereira.

"Hey everyone, thank you for your support. I want to thank Alex for the fight. He's been great. And the only thing I'm thinking about is that I need to improve or end my career. Thank you all for your support," said Jiri in a video published in Instagram.
